Our Easter weekend

HAPPY EASTER Our weekend started with a whirlwind trip to Wichita ,KS to see WinterJam. It was wonderful to see all the Christian music groups, 10 groups Capital Kings, OBB, Royal Tailor, Jason Castro, Sidewalk Prophets, Newsong, Jamie Grace, Matthew West, RED and TobyMac.    
Unfortunately these are the only pictures I have. I spaced I had my camera and my phone battery was dead, but there are ton of videos on youtube. The boys crashed hard after the 3rd song from TobyMac, which started about 10:30, after being at the area since 5pm and starting the day at 8 with a 4.5 hour drive.  We tried to get Buggie to see the end of TobyMac on the live feed they had last night, since he was 5 feet from him but he told me to let him go back to sleep, but he fell asleep after the ending of the song he fell asleep to at the concert, so cute he is.
As for today my crazies had a blast.  They woke up to a new VeggieTales from daddy and opened an Easter package from family.

Then Buggie and mom made Resurrection rolls for breakfast, I got to explain the linen was represented by the crescent, the marshmallow melts so it is Jesus, butter is the oils the put on the dead and the cinnamon and sugar are for the death spices.
Then the fun times came the boys went out to look for eggs, which did not happen the way mommy wanted, but they had a good time and we were able to talk through the Easter story as a family.  They also got to go to an egg hunt where they dropped 15000 eggs and the boys got 3 together, we found out later there were different age group areas and we were in with the big kids, it's a good thing we mainly went to see the helicopter drop all the eggs.
 
So then we came home to more VeggieTales and mom and dad got some time to watch The Bible from the History channel.  It was fabulous and I advise all of you to get it when it comes out April 5.  The story went pretty close to the Bibles writings so we were impressed and the special effects rocked.
Again HAPPY EASTER and God Bless you all

  2. Thanks Vinma they get it all from their father haa, haa, haa. We have lots of fun together. We really had a wonderful Easter this year which is new for us at holiday times. My hubbie's family didn't do any of the things mine did for holidays and they were usually not fun times for him so he's learning how to enjoy them and our boys. Thanks again.
