Easter Sunday

I've been a little behind in updating the blog.  I'm finally getting to Easter Sunday.  We had a great day (before heading back to work) celebrating one of my favorite holidays.  It's a little different celebrating Easter here in Virginia (and last year in Ohio, with some snow).  In my memories, Easter is always on a sunny and warm spring day.  I'm sure there were some that didn't fit that description, but for the most part, that's what I think of when I think of Easter. This year we had the sunny, but not the warm.  It was pretty cool outside.

We started our day getting ready for Easter mass.  We love the 11 o'clock service at our church because of the Youth Choir.  They always play amazing music and the service is enjoyable with church full of members.  On any Sunday, there ends up being standing room only if you come a quarter to 11.  Imagine what it's like on Easter and Christmas!  You have to get to church between 10 and 10:15 in order to guarantee and seat.  While we were waiting for the mass to begin, the choir sings a few songs.  Landon loved listening to the songs and decided to get out of the pew and start dancing. It was adorable!  He walked out into the center aisle and entertained everyone around us.  I wish I had recorded it...

Before we headed to mass, Landon checked out the goodies that the Easter Bunny left him.

He loved the cars and once he saw them he had no interest in the rest of the basket.
Afterwards, we headed outside for his Easter egg hunt.  It took him awhile for him to understand what to do, but he eventually got it!
After mass we had an early Easter dinner at Andrew's parents house.  The Easter Bunny visited here too and left Landon another basket of goodies.
