Easter!

Easter is my favorite holiday. This year, we got to spend Easter Eve with Desha and the Summer cousins! It was especially nice to be with them shortly after Grandpa's memorial. The holiday was a beautiful (and needed) reminder of The Resurrection and that we will all be resurrected, too.

On Good Friday, I ate Hot Cross Buns. Yummy! But no one else liked them.
On Easter Eve, I served fish with honey sauce because Jesus ate fish and honeycomb with his apostles after he was resurrected. Desha made the sauce for the fish. We also had deviled eggs, veggies, salad, fruit and kuskus. For dessert we made and frosted sugar cookies together. Tanner got a taste of the frosting and wasn't too sure about it's texture.

Then, we made history by turning our mirror-wall into a giant game of Pictionary! We used dry erase markers, and drew all over the wall! You could see the drawings pretty well, and it made for some fun laughs. We started playing in teams, but then decided we liked it better just choosing our own words from the deck.

It was funny cuz both Shauna and Desha were really good at it, but in different ways. Shauna chose easy ones to draw and we would guess them within a few seconds. On the other hand, Desha chose the super complicated, abstract ones, and would end up covering the whole mirror with detailed drawings. And we could actually figure it out! 

On Easter Morning, Desha had to leave at the crack of dawn for the airport. Jeremy, Tanner and I went to church. Jeremy got picked up for the airport from church. He went to Kentucky for a school business competition. Tanner and I spent the day singing Easter songs and playing outside. It was a very peaceful Easter!
