Easter 2020

We are having a wonderful Easter.  The girls were the most impatient kids this morning.  Don't let these innocent smiles fool you...

 they were yelling for their brothers just moments before this.

 Blase had to serve Mass this morning, so he found his Easter basket first.

 Looks like there will be some fun in his future.

 Stephen pretending he had NO idea where his basket was.

Stephen pretending it is his long-lost box of targets. 

 Stephen pretending he's always wanted a St. Benedict Tiny Saint charm.

Okay, he might have been a little genuinely excited about this one.

 Cormac was typical Cormac....to the point.

 This is as excited as Cormac gets for pictures.

 Rex figured that his basket would be on his chair after all three of his older brothers' baskets were.

 St. John Bosco Tiny Saint charm for Rex.  That is our homeschool patron saint.

 Well, Brech...where's your basket?  Not on your chair?  Hummmm....

 Over there?

 How about there?

 Ohh, finally...found your basket!

 Gianna is wishing we had an oven right now to bake some cookies.

 Brigid could hardly contain herself.  Maybe it was a bit cruel to make the girls wait until the very end to look inside their baskets.

 A KITE!  HER VERY OWN FIRST KITE EVER!

Can you hear the excitement?

I'm sure the neighbors heard her.

Kiara was a bit more patient than Brigid, which is odd. 

 A KITE!!  I GOT A KITE TOO!!!!

 And a toothbrush!!!

 Way to get down to business, Rex.  Maybe you should try opening it first.

 Snow.  Snow.  Snow.  

 JELLY BEANS!!!

 MORE JELLY BEANS!!!

Can you tell what her favorite Easter candy is?

 That's a fair amount of snow for Easter Sunday.

 Easter egg hunting team -  Team September 23

 GO

 Rex hide the eggs and we couldn't find one of them so he was helping the kids.

 Can you see the missing egg, Brech?

LET THE KIPPING CONTEST BEGIN!

 She's sure she's got the winning egg!

 She didn't have the winning egg.

 Blase took a picture of me taking a selfie with the winning egg to share with my family.

It got really interesting when they started two-handed kipping!

Happy Easter everyone!  May God bless all of you!
