Easter weekend 2007 was filled with bitter-sweet moments, lots of traveling, and special time with family. It all began on Good Friday when my wife and kids, along with my brother, packed up the van and headed to Jefferson City, Missouri, for my Grandma's memorial service. We embarked on the 6-hour journey right after lunch, and arrived in time to mingle with aunts, uncles, and cousins for a little over an hour. This time also included some picture browsing, as well as picking and choosing from Grandma's collection of keepsakes. We were up and at 'em bright and early on Saturday morning, and off to the church for the memorial service, followed by a luncheon and more quiet reflection. Then, back on the road bound for home. After a good night's sleep, we awoke to find the Easter Bunny does indeed exist, as our kitchen table was filled with Easter goodies!
After the church service, we headed to Mandi's folks' acreage for dinner and the annual Easter egg hunt. We had a fantastic time, and our celebration was a perfect ending to a long but wonderful weekend. I've included pictures of our family for your viewing pleasure, and I hope all of you enjoyed your respective Easter weekends/celebrations, as well!
