Easter Weekend

Another crazy, busy weekend in the Webber fam. Blogger isn't letting me post pictures, so I'll have to try again later.

Friday we enjoyed coloring eggs, eating good food, and visiting with family (and a Kaminski fam March birthday party). The evening ended with a bang (or rather a slam), as my uncle shut my Grandma's door while we were all outside-- locked out. An hour later, a locksmith brought an official end to the party by letting us in to get the rest of our stuff. Fun times :)

Saturday, Grandpa, Grandma and Jenn joined us for Bunnyville at the zoo. We had an excellent time, and really great weather. The kids got to see the Easter Bunny, and we enjoyed showing Grandma and Grandpa the zoo-- for some reason ALL of the animals were out and about-- so we saw some that we have never really seen before too :) After the zoo, Grandpa took us all out to lunch. We went home for naps and Grandpa and Daddy continued a search for a kiddie pool with a built in slide... we ended up with the display model from the third toys r us that was visited (who buys all the swimming pools before April?!?). The kids swam for a bit after their nap- while mom and dad cleaned up the van for next weekend's adventure. After that, since we hadn't packed enough into the day we went for a bike ride (we're trying to get in shape for our upcoming summer vacation in which we'll be doing a lot of bike riding). Peter and I were begging for bedtime to come!

Sunday, the Easter bunny visited and left many hidden eggs, and two giant Easter baskets. Then we went to church to celebrate the real reason for Easter-- JESUS.

But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
Isaiah 53:5

The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Matthew 28: 5-6

And we rounded out the weekend with an Easter/March (Boyes) birthday party at Grandma Sue and Cappy's. We had a slightly smaller crew, as some were on vacation and stuff-- but fun anyway :) When we got home, Dave and Laura were over, and hung out with us for bit... good times.

Well, it makes me tired just remembering all of the events of the weekend... hard to believe what we can do in three days. Tonight Peter's at school-- so I'm going to attempt to restore order to the house, catch up on laundry, and possible find time for a visit from Grandma Sue, Jilly and later Keely and Anna...


never a dull moment...
