Good Friday

Our weekend was so busy I decided to do a post for each day of the weekend.  We started out with Good Friday over at Hope & Ben's house.  I got off work at 3 so I was able to go home and get the girls cleaned up and ready.  Hope fixed a really good supper then had an Easter egg hunt in her yard for the girls before we headed off to church with them.    Hope had some eggs with dollar bills in them with the idea that the girls would have some money to put in the offering plate at church that night.  Well we did not do a good job of explaining that to Jenae before hand so as she is going through her eggs she is happily shoving the money in her pockets.  It mentioned to her that she needed to put the money in the offering plate at church and she said "no, I don't it is my money"  I then explained to her that is why Hope put the money in the eggs.  It took some convincing, but eventually we had her convinced to do so.  Once we got to church, Marilyn pointed out in the church bullion where is asked for people to contribute to the offering.  I can't remember for sure how it was worded, but Jenae all of the sudden got really concerned if the rest of us had money to put in the offering plate.  She was sitting between me & Marilyn and she whispered to me "Mommy, do you have money for the offering?"  I said "yes, I do"  Then she whispered to Marilyn "Grammy, do you have money for the offering?"  Marilyn replied "Yes, Grandpa has some money to put in"  She sits back and says "I really hope that Ben & Hope have money to put in since this is their church"  It was pretty funny how she went from not wanting to give any money to the church to being concerned that everyone had to give money. 
The church service was really nice.  Their preacher is a really good.  He did a really awesome job of talking about all that Christ went through & endured so that we would be able to spend eternity with him. 
After church we went back to Ben & Hope's house for some dessert and to visit.  The girls were really tired and Kyle had to get up early to take a horse down to Pitzer's Horse sale so about 10 o'clock we headed for home.  Both girls fell asleep on the way home & did not wake up until Saturday morning!  It was a really nice Easter celebration :-)

Aubree spotted an egg.

And she found one in the tree as well!

Aubree found another one!

The girls were not happy about stopping to pose for a picture in the middle of their Easter Egg hunt.

Marilyn helping Trey find eggs.  Unfortunately I think his cousins found them all first.

Aubree & Trey playing in the yard.

What is wrong with this picture??  Trey is pulling his big cousins around!  He is
a strong little fella as he is probably pulling 3 to 4 times his body weight!

Trey's turn for a ride.

Aubree sharing her dessert with Trey.  She is a huge fan of whipped cream
so she would eat a bit with whipped cream and then give Trey a bite of the chocolate.
