The four of us spent a lovely Easter together today, although it was certainly very different from any other Easter we've ever had. The first thing is that it was really hard to not be able to be with EITHER side of the family. Easter has pretty much always been an either/or holiday. It's not really one that we can do with both sides of the family together. It was tough not being with anyone, but I never forget to be grateful that we do have the kids with us.
We all really slept in, and that was really nice. The kids then made a cake for our dessert, before Andrew got started on fixing dinner. The kids also helped get the potatoes ready. Once everything was prepped and ready to go, our family "did church". Our Pastor sends out the readings and hymns for us to use as we wish, and then he video records a message/sermon for us to watch. While we very much look forward to being able to worship in church with other members again soon (we hope!), we also appreciate the fact that with only the four of us sitting there, it really forces the kids to be involved. We sat down and had a very nice dinner, and then we chatted with Andrew's parents while we ate dessert. Oh goodness, we really miss them, but are so grateful for technology that helps to make them feel a little closer.
Although the weather is really wet today, spring is happening, and I'm grateful for Easter!
