Easter feasting

We hope that all of you had a wonderful Easter. We celebrated by going to our church for an Easter service and then basically spent the whole day eating! After church we headed to Maryland where we got to have lunch with two of my aunts and their families. It was so fun to catch up with cousins and get to know their new spouses! I must say that my Aunt Lynn and Aunt Carrol put together an Easter meal that was reminiscent of Grandma’s house! We even had Parisian carrots. :)

Nathan and Emily sitting down for the Easter feast, wearing their Sunday best!  Faith and Chris..the happy couple…who by the way are not particularly interested in pyramid schemes!!!  The Wonderful Aunts!

After our family lunch we headed back to Falls Church to have dinner with our small group from church.(There were about 34 of us total b/c it was the group we attend as well as a bunch of other people from the original small group…it has multiplied 3x so every year they get back together for Easter dinner) . Everyone brought place settings of their china and we had a huge buffet of food! We have been so blessed by the small group that we have joined at McLean Presbyterian. We have been overwhelmed by how welcoming everyone has been. They have pulled us in and have made us feel so comfortable. It has been so encouraging during our time of transition.
