Easter | Pad Patter 4.12

Ours was definitely different but I sort of liked it. We usually have a big bkfst with our church family. I was just going to have cereal but my kids wanted that big bkfst feel. So I made breakfast pizza and served fruit (we are running low on groceries and that's all I could come up with). Then we met with our church on-line. After that, we had had hardboiled eggs (since we had just dyed them the day before) and whatever we could find in the fridge for lunch. Then we had an easter egg hunt, read for a couple of hours and then watched the Ten Commandments (it's our Easter tradition). It was rainy outside all day so we never got outside. We had hot dogs for dinner...like I said, not a lot of groceries. It was actually really restful...and I almost got my DYD album done while they watched Ten Commandment.

 

A bit late to this thread, but oh well! We did not do what we normally would have done due to the no family issue. We had hopes that this day of all others would prompt a change of heart. Normally they would have gone to her parents "they do this every year"- so this year could have been different. But no. Not even so much as a text. I baked my first "Easter Bread" ( 2 blues and a pink for Maddox, Ezekiel & Lila!)
and asked in advance if we could bring it to them. DS said yes, no problem. We texted and asked what time Sunday afternoon could we drop it off, he said, "Well, coming to the house with the kids here is a problem, that's not going to work, so you can leave it outside my office door ( on the ground in the rain!) and I will pick it up after". We replied with "never mind". Couldn't even meet us to receive this gift on Easter Sunday? They even stayed at home in their house five minutes away. Such a shame and a disgrace to the King and to us. I don't have more words...
Thursday night DH and I had our own simple little Passover Seder,

in conjunction with a live one streaming. It was very special- to pray with them, and for the nations as we celebrated a time of deliverance from such a very similar situation. So, it was different, and we both missed the littles immensely, but we tried to find hope in the remembering of the hand of God for His people.
Thanks for listening...y'all are gracious.

 

We were supposed to have our kids & their partners for dinner on Saturday, but instead we had a Zoom meeting that night. We didn't do much at all on Sunday since DH wasn't feeling all that good. He was back to normal today though.

 

Glad he is doing better!
