One of the reasons we attended our church's Saturday night service was so we could spend the morning and early afternoon as a family of four with Cameron. When we got up Sunday morning, we had a not-so-good-feeling little girl. Hannah was running a little fever and was coughing like crazy, but we thought we would still give our day a try. We got to the interim house around 8:30 before the foster family went to their church. My mom came with us to celebrate the day. We were able to do Easter baskets with both kids before we left. We didn't get an egg hunt in this year because of the crazy rain we've been having, but I know the kids (Hannah especially) enjoyed opening their Easter baskets.
All the Easter goodies!
We had a few hours to kill before we could meet my dad for lunch, so we took off for the zoo. It was a lot of fun watching Hannah "watch" all the animals. She kept saying "Mommy...zoo!" over and over while we were there. We dodged yet another bout of rain and made it about three hours at the zoo. It was nice to spend the morning together, even if it was damp and a little cool.
After the zoo, we met my dad downtown at one of our favorite resteraunts, Calico's. It is a great Italian place that we go to quite a bit. It wasn't ham and all the fixings, but it was really, really good! Hannah was about to her max so we took Cam back to his interim house and headed home. I'm really glad we were able to spend the day with Cameron! We finished our Easter evening by going to my dad's church. The choir was doing a special cantata and we went to celebrate with him.
Overall, our non-traditonal Easter was perfect for us. One thing that stayed the same was how incredibly in awe we are with what Jesus did for us. He paid the ultimate price for our sins allowing us to live forever. On this day, it doesn't go un-noticed. We are so blessed with our family and thank God daily for giving us Hannah and now Cameron. Thank you, Jesus, for what you did for each of us!
