An Easter Celebrating Soccer Mom

Easter weekend is going to be pretty busy in our house!! Last night we hosted a last supper. We had another couple and their kids come over. We cooked food that Jesus would have eaten. I didn't make unleavened bread like he would of been eating because of passover but I did a Jewish honey bread. We also had figs, dates, almonds, hard boiled eggs, honey cake, and skewers. I didn't use lamb but I think the kids got the idea. We also served grape juice. It was a big hit with my kids. It will definitely be a family tradition. I was looking for something "meaningful" but that we could keep doing with our kids year after year. This seriously was our answer. Every year can be a little different with the same principal. When they're older they'll be able to study the story more in depth and gain a broader understanding than the story we told last night. I loved it.

Yesterday I dropped off Ellie's registration into soccer. So it's official she'll be our little soccer superstar!! I asked her if she wanted to do dance or gymnastics or swimming or soccer. Every time we got the same, very enthusiastic answer. Soccer it is! Dusty keeps bugging me that we'll have to buy a mini-van but I don't think even being a soccer mom will get me in one of those!

The food looks yummy!!!! I put Jared in soccer this summer too and he's really excited. I don't know why everyone mocks mini vans....personally, I love mine. We test drove different kinds of SUV's and I didn't like any of them. Finally I drove a mini van and I will never go back. They are way better than anything else I've tried anyway. Guess I'm a dorky minivan mom...hahaha.

LOL, I don't HATE mini-vans but my parents owned a hideous beast of a mini van when I was a kid and I remember the awful stink I swore up and down I was never going to procreate enough to need one of those. (the long winded story of my traumatizing mini-van life).... but I do have to stay that they are super convienent!
