I hope everyone had a lovely Easter weekend. It rained off and on during the two days, but there were some very pretty moments with the sun decided to shine. We had a nice family weekend, with some friends sprinkled in. Friday night, Colin was going to a sleepover ( I cannot believe we are at this age) and Will was hanging out with friends, so Meli and I had a girls' night. We cuddled, ate junk food, and watched the new movie Peanuts (which was cute). Then I laid with her until she fell asleep. I had a good time with her, but was so ready for my "me" time. Had to catch up on my reading (slacking a bit) and on Blindspot (love the show).
Saturday we cleaned up (still adjusting to working) and dyed eggs. We had friends over that night for an Easter dinner (delicious ham, corned pudding, scalloped potatoes, and from the garden salad!) It was so nice to catch up with friends! Also, I got my baby time with sweet Aviel. She is six months and precious!
Sunday we went to a friend's church. They served brunch and had a nice Easter service. Afterwards, we were able to go out and do an egg hunt. There is another church that rents a room from this church for service. The families are mostly from a remote area of Guatemala. Remote enough that they do not all speak Spanish, but a mountain dialect. Some of the kids were in Meli's kindergarten prep class. I believe the group is a Pentecostal church, but they do not celebrate Easter like it is done here. It was very sweet seeing the kids in their traditional Guatemalan clothes doing an egg hunt for the first time. I was very proud of Colin who gave more than half of his eggs away to some of the younger girls from that group that only found a few. One proud mama.
