Good Friday Indeed!

This has been a wonderful day! Elizabeth arrived late last night, we slept for a few hours, and we haven't stopped all day! This morning, we ventured out to the mall along with the rest of the city to have Anna Claire's picture made with the Easter bunny. Yes, we realize it's 2 days before Easter. Yes, we realize other people may have this idea. Yes, we realize we're crazy. Well, the bunny was to arrive at 11, so we arrived at 10:45, only to be greeted by 50 families and strollers waiting in line ahead of us! Oh dear. Long story short....1 hour and 10 minutes later, we make our way to the front of the line only to have our darling daughter turn into "that" child....nice. While we waited in line, she waved, smiled, and talked to the bunny...but when it came time to sit in his lap....absolutely not going to happen. Oh well. Needless to say, we didn't buy the pictures.
Moving along...this afternoon, we went to the bus station because my mom found out from a friend that you can ship packages via Greyhound. She sent us a huge package of Easter goodies and an adorable wooden mailbox for Anna Claire. The mailbox comes with wooden postcards and stamps. Anna Claire was so excited about the box that we had to open it on the front sidewalk! She LOVES mail, so this was a perfect gift for her.
Then, tonight, we had our Good Friday service at the church. Elizabeth and I were in the nursery, so we had ourselves a fun time watching the kiddos.
And our night ended with Elizabeth and I going to Wal-Mart to buy Easter clothes for some kids that will be coming to our church on Sunday but who do not have church clothes. We had a great time, and what trip to Wal-Mart two days before Easter is not complete without the purchase of a 1 pound solid chocolate bunny. Elizabeth was a happy shopper.
Enough writing....here are the pictures.
