Easter




The Sacred Triduum is an experience like no other I could ever explain. The journey and meaning behind our faith is based on Christs' experiences before his death and Resurrection in which we as God's people have the opportunity to experience during Holy week. The Triduum started on Holy Thursday with the celebration of The Last Super and foot washing, on Good Friday we experience the Passion of our Lord and Saturday at Easter Vigil the celebration of the Resurrection of our Lord and the entrance of the newly converted into full communion with the Church. With all of this said this is an important time for DM and I to reflect together on our faith and what we have been blessed with. With Bel being so young we decided to take the opportunity to leave her with Grandpa David and Grandma Judy on all 3 nights and she had a blast. Before we brought her there on Saturday we had dinner with Grandma Sandie, Grandpa George, Uncle Doug and Auntie Stacey where she had a blast finding eggs with Grandpa, helping Grandma in the kitchen and playing with two of her most treasured playmates... Auntie and Uncle. Then she was off to a fun night with her cousins Ella and Lauren at Grandma Judy's and Grandpa Davids.
We rounded out our Easter weekend with looking for Bel's basket from the Easter Bunny at home and then headed down for a fun Easter Sunday hunting eggs, opening baskets, visiting with Great-Grandma and eating too many yummy things. Bel was in her element with her cousins, it truly was a wonderful weekend!
