Easter Firsts

Easter was filled with firsts for the four of us in the Heinisch home today.  First, we used plastic eggs instead of real eggs for the annual Easter egg hunt.  Second, we watched virtual mass online instead of going to church.  Lastly, Cameron finished first in the Easter egg hunt.  He didn't brag, but he was definitley happy with his win.  Meg claimed it was due to the fact that they were hunting for plastic eggs this year.  Either way it was a fun morning.  I put candy in some eggs and slips of paper in others with prizes such as $5 Amazon bucks or pick family night actitivy written on them.  Meg said that she felt like she had acutally won the egg hunt when she received both "week off from cleaning the pigs" prizes.  I really liked listening to mass online.  The priest gave a wonderful homily on hope.  It was the perfect message for today.

  

This afternoon was filled with taking the pigs outside, going on a walk and finishing our Neuschwanstein Castle puzzle.  It was definitley harder than the ones that we had been completed a few weeks ago, but both Doug and I enjoyed working on it.  Doug fixed homemade pizzas for dinner which were delicious.  My Mom dropped off a beautiful bouquet of daffodils from her yard for us dining room table centerpiece.Cal texted that he had spent the day watching movies.  His favorites were Road to Perdition and Invasion of the Body Snatchers.  He was happy to find out that he earned an 89 on his Audit test.  That class was Doug's least favorite at Kelley.  Brett called after work.  He was incredibly proud of fullfilling his Lenten promise of 40 days and nights without playing video games and celebrated by starting Mafia 3 on the PS4 this morning.  He also planned to watch the Pope's Easter mass and finish a blog post.  Doug and I ended the evening watching an Alfred Hitchcock marathon on YouTube TV.  It was a relaxing way to end our three day weekend.
