~Happy Easter--He is Risen!!!~

This morning we attended the 9am service at church rather than our usual 11am time.  We were quite surprised that it wasn't crowded at all like we expected.  The choir did a lovely job.  I think I will join them for the next event.  I couldn't for Easter because I couldn't make two of the three rehearsals due to being out of town. 

We gave the children their gift baskets when we came home from church.  Then I began making our large dinner.  Ham, au gratin potatoes, corn, flaky biscuits, salad, coconut cake, cupcakes, soda, coffee.  YUM...what a feast for the 7 of us.   I think my body is in shock from the sugar we consumed, especially after being on a low carb diet for 2 months!!! 

Here are some pictures from our day:
