This Easter weekend was a lot of fun. We started our weekend out by going to Good Friday communion at church. This was our first time doing this and it was a really great night of worship and communion. Kenzie even sat through the entire thing. It was only about 45 minutes long but when you consider that it started at 6pm (an hour before bedtime) that was quite an accomplishment.
Easter Sunday we started our day by getting dressed up (sort of) for church. Our church isn't one that most people wear suits or anything. Nana and Uncle Rick came to church with us. Papa was supposed to come, but he was not feeling well. I think we gave him whatever this sickness is that we are passing around our house.
Before leaving for church, Kenzie got to see what the Easter Bunny had brought her. I think the Easter Bunny figured that since she was so young this year, he didn't need to bring her too much. =) She got a cute basket that she can continue to play with, a sock monkey, yogurt melts, a book, and sunglasses. Kenzie is not very enthused with the sunglasses yet but we will keep working on it.
After church, Grandma and Grandaddy came to eat lunch with all of us. We had a yummy lunch with barbeque chicken, potato salad, baked beans, garlic bread, and mac and cheese. For dessert we had awesome brownies. It was a lot of fun. We are so excited to have Grandma and Grandaddy close enough now that they can come visit for things like Easter lunch. Nana and Papa have been close for a while but now we have both sets of grandparents at a good distance to do things like that.
All in all, I think Kenzie's first Easter was fun. We are excited for next year when she can participate in egg dying and the Easter Bunny festivities. However, we are definitely going to make it a point to make sure that as she gets older, she knows the reason for the holiday as well. I'm excited that over the last year, we have found a church home and we can continue to bring her up in that environment. So (a day late) we want to wish everyone a Happy Easter and a Happy Resurrection Day!
Saturday we decided to dye eggs with Kenzie. This year that really just involved us dying the eggs and letting her watch and look at them. Next year she should be able to participate more.
