Family Easter Pictures

This year we decided that we would go to Holy Saturday services at our church. The mass started at 8:15pm (15 minutes after Muluken's bedtime) and we walked out at 10:55pm. Yes, that is not a typo. We were really there for almost 3 hours.

After about 30 minutes into the service, Muluken was getting tired. I put him on my lap and told him it was OK to rest his eyes. It didn't take him long that he was snoring. And SNORING loud! People started turning around at least 2 pews ahead of us. Cassie got embarrassed and told me to wake him up! LOL! I couldn't believe he could sleep through all the singing and clapping. He did wake up around 10pm, so I took him out and laid him down on a couch. He snuggled in until everybody else joined us.

On Easter morning, the kids all had fun looking for their TWO baskets. The boys found monster trucks in their baskets and the girls each received a movie in their basket. Though, Cassie never found her basket until we returned from celebrating Easter with everyone.

We went to Aunt Kris' home and ate a huge brunch. The boys started playing football in the very wet grass and of course Justin and Muluken both came in looking quite muddy! The kids also had an Easter egg hunt in the basement where they each had to find 12 eggs of a certain color. After leaving Kris' home, we visited with Grandma Rucks and the kids had to find 4 more baskets.

Without saying, we have WAY TOO MUCH candy in this house! I'm sure I will be finding wrappers all over by the end of the week!

Here are our family pictures from Saturday evening:
