Lent / Easter

Please excuse the lack of updates recently. Between the internet difficulties and the kids being on spring break, I haven't had a chance to write.

We just finished the Lenten season with our Easter celebration last Sunday. The entire season is very unique in the house. On Fridays, instead of giving up meat, the entire house gives up tortillas. The logic is that the kids wouldn't notice the meat missing anyway.

Holy Thursday is the night we remember the last supper and in the house we honor this with a special dinner for the whole family.

Good Friday is a silent day, which means we can't play music or watch television all day.

Last Saturday, we celebrated Sabado de la Gloria and remembered all of our baptisms with a giant water fight for three hours.

Sunday was Easter and we celebrated with a sunrise Mass, dougnuts, hot chocolate, chocolate eggs and an egg hunt with a grand prize of $50.

I will update again soon. My parents are coming to visit this week and will be offering wrestling clinics to the kids. I will be sure to post pictures.

Peace
