Easter baskets full of their favorite goodies

We had a wonderful Easter weekend here. Yesterday, Jude had his soccer game where he played really well, his team won 6-1 with Jude scoring a penalty after they fouled him inside the box. He almost had a second goal late in the game.

Anna has been having some epic cheerleading practices, often three hours long and he is completely exhausted when they are over. She has her next competition on Saturday so it is crunch time.

Last night Marcy worked incredibly hard putting Easter baskets together and stuffing easter eggs in what might be one of the last Easter Egg hunts we do, as the kids are outgrowing it. But they still love their Easter baskets.

Sitting down to a delicious Easter dinner

For dinner we had a miso chicken, radish and chard dish which was delicious. Anna baked Brioche dinner rolls which were to die for and Marcy baked a strawberry and cream layer cake. It was all fantastic.

After dinner we went to the park to play. We threw around a football for the first time in ages and Anna practiced some of her cheerleading moves on the grass.

One last thing. Anna turned 14 1/2 this week so we had the usual donuts before breakfast celebration. Then I signed her up for Drivers Ed, she is keen to get started studying for her permit.
