As usual there was a lot of baking and cooking.
A yummy

We all went to the vigil, it was
magnificent! Shannon, Gabriel's wife, was received in the Church. I had the
honor of being her sponsor. Congratulations Shannon! We are so happy for you.
Amy Mercer (Kelly's niece) was Baptized, Confirmed and received First Communion. Xavier was her sponsor. Congratulations Mercer!
On Easter day,
Joseph Mason was Baptised and received his First Communion. David, Dominique's godfather, was his godfather.
After Mass was the
traditional Easter egg hunt. Laurence had forgotten his basket. Hey, a hat is just as good!
Look at what we found on Holy Saturday... Easter chicks! Without our knowledge, our sweet Dominique hen had been sitting a bunch of eggs.
Now it's time to go read Petook, an Easter Story to the children and then go back outside to hear "life everywhere, tapping softly, knocking softly to get out, to come out of the dark into the light, out of silence into sound, out of death into life: bird and beast and seed in the earth and bud on the tree. " From Petook, an Easter Story by Caryll Houselander illustrated by Tomie dePaola
I baptize you in the name of the Father...
And of the Son...
Being a special day for Madalyn too, he let her blow the candles.
Chrism oil!!! Michel LOVES chrism oil (this one is not blessed of course). How appropriate to receive some today!
