Despite the weather, we enjoyed a lovely Easter here in St. John's.
Here is my family watching a show.. Bronwen was pretty relaxed. She likes the Amazing Race just like her dad and grandma.
This is the weather which we woke up to on Good Friday. It snowed all day.
I made hot cross buns as has become a tradition at our house. Bronwen helped me.
Dough rising in the oven.
Sleepy morning face!
The finished product. Unfortunately the plastic wrap which was covering them stuck to the rising buns (even though I oiled it :(. So they were a bit flat.. but still delicious.
Good Friday breakfast.. hot cross buns and coffee! (and nice Easter cards on the table :)
Easter treats from our neighbours, watching the weather while they still can.
Our Easter ham made by Brian... glazed with homemade marmalade.
Getting the broth ready... yum!
We had some friends over for ham on Friday night. Sunday was very cold and windy, but we made it to church to celebrate the resurrection... He is Risen! We spent the day cozy inside and celebrated with some friends from church and school for dinner on Sunday night.
This Easter Sunday I thought a lot of my family in Ontario... it would have been my cousin Chelsea's 24th birthday on that day. It seemed significant that the first year she was not on earth to celebrate her birthday, her birthday was on Easter Sunday. Jesus left the tomb and death was conquered. Chelsea is in heaven because of the resurrection. We have hope because of Easter... because of Jesus.

Looks like you had a nice cosy Easter together, despite the wintery weather outside.
Brian sure made a delicious Easter ham!.
As our pastor said,"Chelsea has gone before us,to a place we all hope to be,in the presence of our resurrected Lord and Saviour".

Looked like a great Easter Jenny! I thought a lot about my family this Easter too. Not for the same reasons, but I know what it feels like to miss important events and holidays with your family. Lots of love from the other side of Canada :)
