Saturday was spent at the Children's Museum. Between the 11 of us and Abby, we had 2 vehicles, 3 children, 2 wheelchairs, 1 stroller, 1 baby carrier, about 6 cameras and a partridge in a pear tree.
Connor loved checking out the dinosaurs and Bob the Builder! Chelsie patiently chased him around the entire museum.

Abby spent most of her day with Hailey, showing her the cool stuff and distracting her from the scary dinosaurs.
Sunday morning we all put on our Easter best and went to church together. In the midst of the chaos of planning the weekend, I found myself continually trying to refocus on why we were celebrating Easter. The sacrifice of Christ dying on the cross for us is so unbelievable, I find it challenging to appreciate the meaning of it sometimes. As a mom, I feel I may grasp a tiny bit of what it meant for God to send His Son to die for us. I am thankful for Easter weekend to celebrate Good Friday when Christ dies and then Easter Sunday when he miraculously rose!
It seems silly to exchange candy and baskets in light of what we're really celebrating. But it's a tradition anyways, and it is fun to celebrate new life that spring brings!
There was no chance of getting the three kids to sit still with their Easter baskets, so here is our best shot in front of the mantle.
Little Easter bunny, Connor.
And the whole Mack/Lee clan!
