Happy Easter 2026!

Good morning, my friends! And Happy Easter! The Easter Season lasts for 50 days, so if there is something you have yet to do, you have time! Our Easter was lovely, cozy, and blessed. We missed Peyton and Chris, but texting and sharing phone calls make being apart a bit easier.

Friday night was the last Lenten Fish Fry, so we ended our Good Friday fast with that.

Rhett and Kyrstin, cute as can be...

And Nicolas and I, because we were wearing matching shirts. He's a good sport like that. Then, on Saturday, Madison and Nicolas had us in for a delicious Easter Dinner.

They prepared all the food, and it was delicious. There was turkey breast, steamed green beans, steamed carrots, oven-roasted potatoes, apple-and-herb bread pudding, cranberry sauce, and chicken legs.

Dessert was a homemade peach pie and vanilla cupcakes with the most delicious cream cheese icing and coconut.

After dinner, some watched basketball, while others started one of our favorite Netflix series, Love on the Spectrum.

Easter Sunday morning, I was up early to enjoy the sun and the joy of the day. Then I prepped for our Easter Brunch. I washed and set out fruit to dry, made two different quiches, and set a simple table. Then we got ready to head to Easter Sunday Mass! It was sunny and warm but windy outside.

After a beautiful mass, we returned home and enjoyed brunch together. We had quiche, bacon, fresh fruit, coffee cake, sliced avocado, and Easter muffins, made by Flynn. We also enjoyed some super fresh steamed shrimp that Steve picked up, because when you live at the beach, you eat steamed shrimp for brunch! 

After brunch, we cleaned up, and as the sky outside grew cloudy and the spring rain began to fall, we changed into cozy clothes, snuggled on the couch for a few games, baskets, and plastic eggs with prizes inside. It was a beautiful Easter Day. I hope and pray you have the peace of Easter in your hearts today, my friends. Enjoy this Easter Monday!
