When I think of Easter..

Ok, I am only a little bit behind here..not bad:) Easter has come and gone, and mothers day is right around the corner. Personally, they are way to close together this year!
On a quick side note, the sun is out today, so I am happy;) But of course I have to go to work! it always seems to work out that when the sun comes out its NOT on my days off;) Oh well, at least there are lots of windows at my work and I am sure lots of happy people and kids enjoying the glorious sun today!
So back to Easter..We have been watching the veggie tales Easter movie for what feels like a month straight now:) And I can't get the song out of my head.."when I think of Easter, when i think of Easter, when I think of Easter, I think about the lord..". Maybe that is a good thing:)
Good Friday we were off and running as Dave and I were leading worship at our joint service we always do with another church in town. It was great! A long morning though for miss Addy as were at the church at 9am and didn't leave till almost 1, but she did great! We headed out for our new Easter tradition with my parents..greek food:) yumm yumm..
I worked saturday, and than Sunday morning we did our Easter egg hunt with addy..as seen below. She loved it!!! She has been asking "where Egg?" for the past week! best ten bucks I ever spent! after that we headed to church and than over to dave's sisters for turkey dinner..yummy:) We were pretty exhausted by the end of it all, with working weekends in a busy holiday mix it can get a little much sometimes. but we survived:)
I do find it kind of sad though that at this stage in life I am finding holidays to be more of a burden than a blessing?? Can anyone else relate?? Does that make sense? I guess I just feel like at the end of it all, I so desperatly want to have five minutes alone with MY little family:) Since its such a rare and special thing these days! Anyways, the purpose of Easter is something so much greater and that was not forgot this year, as it will never be forgot any year in our household!
