Easter, Eggcetera

We've had a incredibly busy couple of weeks, and are preparing for the Season of Birthdays! This year, at the Easter Vigil, JVL and I were honored to sponsor Monika & Sean as they were received into the Church. It was so fantastic. 

Sarah, bless her forever, stayed with the kids all evening and slept over with her boys, so we had a wonderful, relaxing Easter morning, too. 

 

Then, yesterday we celebrated the consolidation of Monika & Sean's marriage at St. Mary's — another beautiful occasion. I've never seen Cordelia so excited. She kept gripping my hand and beaming, whispering, "THIS IS IT! THIS IS THE BEST!"

 Monika, ever a genius, had packed goody bags for each of the kids for when our own supply ran out, somewhere in the middle of brunch. Cordelia sprawled on the floor with a library book (no surprise), Cody built Legos and didn't talk for a whole half hour, and Emma kept herself pretty much entertained. She kept all of us entertained, too. :)

 Then we capped off the day with a lovely walk through Old Town. All the Last ladies fell fast asleep on the ride home. :)
