We began our Easter by relaxing at home. It turns out that the Easter bunny did come and bring a basket for Kate, but he left it with Mommy, who forgot to give it to her. So she'll get it a day late. But since baskets shouldn't be the main focus of the day (and she's too little to be impressed or remember anyway), it ended up just fine. Brandon and I decided that we wanted to go to church. We had been talking about it for a while, and I figured Easter Sunday would be a good day to blend in with all the other folks who aren't regulars. So we got Kate dressed in a cute navy and white dress (we were color coordinated of course) and drove about seven minutes to the Lutheran church nearby. Brandon had never been to Lutheran church, and it had been a long, long time since I'd gone, so it was a bit of a new experience for both of us. There were some things we liked and some things we didn't, but all in all it was a very nice experience. We may need to try out a few more churches before settling on one to belong to, but we've started the process.
After church we took a walk to enjoy the beautiful weather. Kate snoozed in the stroller and Copper sniffed every mailbox, street sign, fence post and bush that we passed. We passed a man and his grandson walking three Irish wolfhounds. They were HUGE. Copper wisely avoided barking at them or drawing any attention to himself...they could have squashed him! Once we returned from our walk, Copper slept on the couch, Brandon and Kate watched basketball and played, and I worked on Easter dinner. We had ham, scalloped potatoes, glazed carrots, roasted asparagus, and spinach salad. We knew that we'd have more food than two of us could handle, so we called in Josh to be our reinforcements. He helped us put a pretty healthy dent in everything, and we had a nice time eating and catching up.
