Palm Sunday

Our church did things a little bit differently this year.  They usually have the egg hunt on a Saturday.  We always miss out because we are at the ball fields.  I was excited to see that this year they opted for a Potluck Lunch & Egg Hunt after the Palm Sunday service.

We were actually all dressed and ready to go early without any major outfit meltdowns.  I snapped a few pictures in front of our azaleas because they are beautiful this year...

Owen still gives me that One Eyed Willie look most of the time I snap his pictures.  I did get one that was halfway decent of all three...

At the opening of the service, the children marched in waving palm branches...

Owen wasn't too sure about it...

...but he rolled with it.

Then they joined the choir and sang an opening song...

Owen still isn't sure and he was stuck on the front row!

After the service, we gathered in the fellowship hall for a delicious and delightful covered dish lunch.  The church provided the fried chicken and each Sunday School Class was assigned a category.  Our class had cold salads.  I thought Copper Pennies was fitting for a Palm Sunday lunch.

Then the Easter Bunny stopped by...

...while the older children hid the eggs in the neighboring yards.  They blocked of the street, divided the kids up and told them to hunt.

I went with Owen's group.  He loved finding the eggs...

Even the Easter Bunny stopped by to visit...

Owen was thrilled when he discovered the eggs were full of candy...

Banks tied for the most eggs.

I either missed Mary Reese's group picture or they didn't do one...
