Easter Sunday in DC

It is Easter season here in the District! Last week we were sure that the cold weather was on its way out, and the spring was here...unfortunately Mother Nature had other plans. We had a beautiful week of 70-80 degree weather and then this week it went cold on us again! It even snowed Friday night! Despite the cold, Easter was a beautiful day. We woke up and the Easter Bunny had paid a visit to Lizzy and I...

Lizzy and the Easter candy...It is amazing the Easter Bunny always remembers to bring Lizzy Snickers Eggs, her favorite!

The talks and music at church were wonderful. After church we came home and Lizzy and her friend Jessica wanted to color eggs. Jessica invited her soon-to-be brother-in-law, Matt, to come over and join us. So they colored eggs as I enjoyed a wonderful nap!

Jessica also made us a delicious brunch with blueberry pancakes, eggs, and potatoes. It was delicious. After that party it was ready to get ready for our next. We had invited the Qualters and the Palmers to come over for dinner with us. The men of the group, in selfless acts to bring joy to our wives, volunteered to prepare the dinner. I got assigned to do the meat, Qualter got the mashed potatoes, and Palmer got the rolls. Qualter and I made a run to Costco where we secured all of the goods we would need to prepare an incredible meal.

Here are the men preparing the feast!

All of us enjoying the meal

For dessert we had strawberries, sour cream, and brown sugar. Everyone was a little nervous, but it was a hit! We finished off a huge container of strawberries. The whole meal was a success! Everyone left full of food and grateful for all the blessings we have. Our wives were especially grateful for their husbands who prepared an incredible Easter dinner.
