so easter weekend was a blast!!!!... my family was in town and we had a jam-packed... shop til you drop.... dining family-style weekend!!!
friday - aaron and brennen had some dad/son bonding time... they went to the driving range and ended the afternoon with a short nine hole course.... afterwards they met up with me for dinner at Pei-Wei... then we all headed to church for the Good Friday service... which by the way was extremely moving (insert clips from Passion of the Christ)..... afterwards my parents called and said they were almost in town and were heading over. We of course .....scurried around straightening up... you know the run around tidying needed to ensure you look like they taught you well???? :0)... once they arrived we hung out and visited with them.... then off to bed...
saturday - woke up bright eyed and bushy-tailed and went shadow shopping with my parents... of course they spoiled all three of us!! We had fun and were pretty tired.... that at one point brennen and aaron fell asleep in my parent's suv..... the evening ended with dinner for eight (parents and siblings)we had tons of fun reminiscing about the past... (insert all the good and bad memories of growing up with two older brothers :) afterwards we all came home and went to sleep...
Easter morning... aaron, brennen, and i headed to Easter service.. which was also a great experience... our church had such a huge turn-out ... we filled 80% of all the extra overflow rooms... and while on our way home aaron and i decided to host the Easter sunday brunch and hit up the store for our Easter dining items... of course we invited over all the family... and had a blast preparing breakfast!!! of course Aaron's busted out with his pancake skills... i need to make some money off of him... he has serious skills... :) ... he delighted us with his version of easter-inspired pancakes...
Who knew....... this would turn into......................................
This!!!!!!!! Blasting yumminess!!!!
after they were all done... they were served with fresh strawberries and whip cream!!... of course the rest of breakfast came with all the fixings..sausage...bacon (of course the turkey kind :) )...hash browns... steak.... eggs... cinnamon rolls... lemon meringue pie.... a variety of tasty drinks... we had a blast... it got us all together for some family fun!!
Of course Brennen was blessed heavily by the easter bunny :0)......
Brennen loved decorating eggs with mom and dad!! and they sure turned out really nice... and boy was be proud!!
Who knew that three nails and two pieces of wood were going to hold the weight of the world?
I hope you had a great time with your family and friends!!
Happy Easter from the McCabe Family!!!!
