Palm Sunday


It is a little tricky to see, but I am in the far left of this picture (yellow sweater) and Luke is coming down the aisle at church (green sweater) in front of me and waving at Daddy with his palm branch.  Liam is in front of Luke, but pretty hard to see.

Luke and Liam sang in church for Palm Sunday.  You can barely see Luke's head in the top left (green sweater)


Sneak peak at Aiden in his Easter outfit getting donuts after church.

Despite the lack of spring weather, we all wore our new spring/Easter clothing to church over the weekend to celebrate Palm Sunday.  Luke and Liam were singing in church and Aiden was more than excited to wear his hat, tie, and special pants to church.  He says he is wearing them "to work."  He has been asking to wear the bowtie since we bought it and the searsucker pants and hat totally fit his spirited personality.  We will have more pictures to come next week for Easter! 
 
I know I have mentioned many times before that John and I are not big on shopping or going to the mall.  There are times, however, that we have a lapse of judgement and decide it might be a good idea to take everyone to the mall.  This lapse of judgement could likely occur after being indoors for long periods of time due to never ending winter weather and colder than normal temperatures while trying to entertain and exhaust three small children.  I think that is what happened to us over the weekend when we decided it might be fun to take everyone to the Mall of America on a Saturday.  I never knew a mall could be so crowded on a random Saturday in March.  It looked a bit more like Christmas to me with the wall to wall people.  The boys had fun and that was the point of our excursion.  They got to ride some of the amusement park rides, eat lunch at McD, and play at Legoland.  We got out of the house for awhile and we were very happy to be home afterwards.
