Happy Easter Sunday! What a beautiful day it was at Pickwick! We spent this Easter at the Lake like we have done in most years past. It is so nice and simple at the Lake. We always go to the little country church, Pickwick United Methodist. It reminds me so much of the church I grew up attending, Elm Grove United Methodist in Burlison. Great memories! The picture of the sunrise above reminds me of those early Sunday morning sunrise services that we always attended as a child. We were dressed to a "t" in our new Easter dresses, bonnets, purses, shoes, jewelry, corsages, gloves...you name it and we had it! What a Mom!
As much as my family loves the contemporary early service that we now attend at home, I still believe it is important for them to be familiar with and visit a traditional service every once in awhile. The traditions of those services are an important part of their religion. The hymns, the formality, the reverence, etc. And just look who is on their prayer list...our own sweet little Lucy Krull! My kids were so proud to see that she had made it to the "Pickwick Church" prayer list.
After the early service, we went to Mom and Dad's for brunch. WOW! It was yummy! Of course, we all ate entirely too much. Boy it was good! Thanks Ginny for all of your preparation...I know how much time it takes! After we ate, we had an Easter Egg hunt with the "kids", Max, Britt, Ally, Abby and Oney. Yes...they all five hunted for eggs! It's amazing what a little cash in the eggs will do for a little motivation! It was serious! This picture is from the dye fest from the night before at Das's.
After brunch, some went fishing, reading, on a boat ride, etc. I took a nice afternoon nap! Sweet! For dinner, we had Jay, Kathryn, Jeanne Claire and Joseph over for burgers. The kids played outside. It was a nice end to a great weekend.
Happy Easter! Christ is Risen! He is Risen indeed!
