| Every year (at least for the last four years) I have said “Next year we will definitely make a new Paschal Candle!” … and every year I end up scraping off the last digit of the year and reshaping it into the next number. Good thing this has been such a slow burning candle! #paschalcandle #2012to2017 #nextyearforsure {Details and directions can be found here: Creating Our Paschal Candle} |
My parents celebrated their 40th Anniversary on Easter Sunday this year so I offered to host the party at our home, despite all of my pregnancy challenges. Between our trip to the coast and Redwoods last Sunday-Monday, working most of Tuesday-Wednesday combined with keeping up with our school week, and out-of-state friends visiting Thursday-Friday I hadn’t had any time to prepare ahead of time this year. I finally made it to Costco and the grocery store late Friday evening and was so grateful to have help in the kitchen on Holy Saturday! Some of our children started coming down sick on Easter Sunday, but we still had such a nice day and I’ll be back with more pictures soon. Happy Easter!
Isn't it wonderful to have teens that enjoy cooking and baking?! Happy Easter!

Thank you, Sarah! I have a feeling that the cough may linger for awhile, but for the most part they are feeling much better… Just in time for today's birthday! One of the girls turned 12 today and requested a "Narnia" theme. 🙂

I meant to get my Narnia birthday post done for you to see, since you had previously mentioned an upcoming Narnia theme. Today was my first post, though, since our littlest was born. Glad to hear all is going well; you and your lovely family are in our prayers!
