So here we are a week later and I am just now posting picture of our Easter Sunday. We managed to get our crew into a church; unfortunately, we only lasted through the songs and 5 minutes of the sermon. We normally go to Lakewood but I had this terrifying image in my head of Houston's entire population flooding into that building like a stampede of wildebeests so we opted aginst it. Our plan was to attend Second Baptist, but there was a horrible accident on the way so we exited the freeway and parked in the first holy parking lot we could find. It just so happened to be a place called Crosspoint Church. The boys were great while we were up singing, but as soon as the room fell semi-silent and the minister began to speak, they took it upon themselves to get the party started again with a loud string of dadadas and bababas and shrieks and yells. As we scanned the place, we noticed that one, there were NO other babies in the sanctuary, and two, that based on the stares, ours were clearly not welcome there. Apparently, at this church it is imperative that you leave your child in the nursery. I guess we were too late to get that memo. We politely escorted them out to the lobby where we were immediately met by a lady who read us our rights: you have the right to take those brats to the nursery, the lobby, or home. We chose home. She really wasn't rude about it, but I thought it was pretty funny. Hopefully we still got our Easter credit;)
After church and nap, we went to Mimi and Poppi's house for dinner. It was delicious as usual, and even more delicious because I didn't have to cook it or clean after it. That's always a plus these days. The boys got their first Easter baskets and they couldn't have been cuter. The theme was outdoor play and they were stuffed with bath/swim toys, a kiddie pool, sunglasses, swim suits, etc. Thanks again Mimi! They had a great time eating everything:) Enjoy the pictures!
this is precisely why we decided to forgo an easter service ... her christening was the week before so we called it even haha.
