Easter :: Egg Hunt

Alleluia!


Late night last night.
A 3+ hour Easter Vigil Mass followed by a reception with cake and goodies.
(It was the first time we went to the vigil with kids. A beautiful Mass!)

Got home at 12:30 AM.
Kids got to bed around 1:00 AM!.
They woke up rarin' to go this morning at 6:30 AM.


First scene of the day.


Kids waiting to start the egg hunt--indoors this year since it's rainy out today!

It was all a blur for about 5 minutes...





...until all the eggs were found.

Then it began.




The sugar ingestion.

Violin Performance

The kids' Sunday performance is now viewable online by clicking here...in case you have a spare hour and a half to listen. =) You can slide the play button to scan through and listen to a few songs.

The performing fiddle group (under the umbrella of their classical Suzuki training) is called The Blazing Bows. It's been a lot of fun for them to learn both styles.

Another Blazing Bows Performance

Yesterday was the kids' first live stream broadcast.


A little pep talk after their last performance seemed to do the trick with Jimmer's fidgeties. He did great for the entire hour and a half!


The show got going after the producer of the event made a little specktacle of Cleve Hattersley and Kathleen for a few minutes...on the secrets of music--style.


Jimmer was even quizzed about what he likes most about playing the violin.

He said that he likes playing in the performances the best.

Would you take a look at all those pronounced holes in our kids' chins? Dad's strong gene.

(We could even see those little dimples on the kids' ultrasounds. No kiddin'.)

They all had a fun time.
