Easter Here in Central Illinois

This year we spent Easter doing something different - we didn't travel from place to place. It was odd and kinda sad - and it was fun and kinda exciting. We went to our church (or the church that we are pretty certain will be ours). It was nice - we have searched the Catholic churches and didn't find any that we totally felt at home with - then we were told about one that we had not clue existed. Every time we have been there other parishioners talk with us - this week a nice gentleman even gave each of the boys Easter Books. I think he thought BigGuy was awesome because he was balancing both boys on his lap and the boys were doing a great job (not paying attention, but being good in church). After church we went back home - BigGuy started the pork shoulder thing - we had Easter Egg hunts (the kids put one on for us and Spidey forgot where he hid the eggs so our hunt took forever). We played games. It snowed (of course). We watched a movie together. We skyped Nanny and we skyped Papa & Gramma J. We called our other grands. We ate Taco Bell (BigGuy put the pork shoulder thing in too late and it wasn't done in time for dinner). We even had the chance to sit and talk to the kids about what Easter means - we were quite pleasantly surprised to learn that they knew a great deal about the true meaning of the holiday. We really enjoyed the day.
