Easter Weekend

Happy Easter everyone! Did you have a good weekend? We did & now we are all well & truly exhausted! We went to our church on Easter Day & had a great time with worship lead by our church's very own gospel choir Sanctified. The boys really enjoyed their activities & the hot cross buns afterwards :o). It was good to celebrate Jesus rising from the dead.
After church we drove over to my parents house to spend the day with them & Helen & Ian AND.....
.... their new puppy Putney!! None of us knew they even had a puppy! He was very popular with the children & they loved playing with him. He is 11 weeks old. Aaaah!

In the afternoon we had an egg hunt in the back garden. It was Annie-Joy's first egg hunt & she loved it! She was quite happy wandering around the garden with one plastic egg & her little yellow bucket! She wasn't too keen when Putney ran off with her Easter bunny in his mouth though!

There was a tiny toy bunny for each child hiding in the garden. Jordan LOVED climbing the tree to find his bunny. All the bunnies had to climb the tree after that! Timmy spent ages making his yellow bunny (now named Jay Bunny) jump from the tree! It was good fun. The boys loved opening the Resurrection Eggs & retelling the Easter story together too (to find out more see this blog entry). They remembered it all so well & sat beautifully together while we opened all twelve eggs. They really liked eating the chocolate too!

After tea Jordan, Ian, Lee, Annie-Joy & my Dad had a game of Piggy in the Middle. It was a good laugh! Jordan is very good at doing headers with the ball too! At 6:30pm we made our way back to Liverpool leaving Timmy behind to have a little holiday with Grandma & Grandad. We miss him but he is having a lot of fun swimming & being spoilt.

Today we spent the day at Delamere Forest. We explored new paths, much to Luke's annoyance at first- he wanted to walk the usual way but then we found the train track & he was happy again! We had a lovely picnic in a secluded spot & wandered 'for hours' through the trees past Blackwater Pond & back to the car park for a snack & a drink. We bumped into some friends while we were there too. We always see someone we know when we go to Delamere which is pretty amazing! Jordan asked if we know everyone there! We are all very tired but happy after all that fresh air & fun! Hope you had a good time this Easter. Look forward to hearing all about it soon! Now I am off for a cuppa & a good night's sleep! Sweet dreams! ;o)
