Palm Sunday and a Daddy Treat

No church for Palm Sunday. 
This lockdown stuff pretty much stinks.

Thankfully, Daddy had it in him to head all the way up to Rochester to get us a special treat. 

He waited in line at Ridge Donuts for a beautiful Do-It-Yourself box.

He also had a big box of completed donuts.  It turned out no one was arguing over the last DIY one, so Mama ended up with TWO.

This is my first glorious concoction…

And my second later in the day.

Easter 2019

The morning started with a basket hunt, as always.
Despite the fact that John and I believed that all the good spots had been overused over the years, it still took the kids a long, long time to find their baskets.  WTG Mom and Dad.  The big kids didn’t want early morning photos shared of themselves.

Church had the kids join the choir for two songs.  Or maybe the choir joined the kids?

We had a family photo in the church lot.  I wish I’d had my good camera and not just the phone.  I’d blow this up in a heartbeat.

After a scrappy lunch of leftovers we did an outside egg hunt.  It was chilly, but after a cold winter it was tolerable for a little while.

Stewart and Marie have a thing going.  For the last two years they’ve tried to recreate a pose from 2017.

They didn’t come home with prizes… but they had smiles for miles.

And Daddy survived another Pinewood Derby.
