Easter 2008

Easter Sunday, the Blockers did our traditional thing. We went down to the river for the annual sunrise service sponsored by the First United Methodist Church in Little Rock. It's always a nice moving event that really gets to the essence of what Easter is all about.

Because of Max's high energy and loud voice we sat back from the main crowd. It was a very chilly morning, so we didn't wear our Easter outfits - yea right!

This is the bunny statue in the River Market area. The closet Max is going to get to an Easter Bunny, at least for now. He was very fascinated by the abstract bronze image of the rabbit.
Mama left for New York around 4 Pm that day, so Easter dinner was modified and kept simple. I made fried chicken, mac and cheese, and greens - forgot the cornbread though. I am doing the best I can!
We didn't have our traditional egg hunt either, so Max didn't get to wear his outfit that day. The other grands didn't come out this time around because of Mama's travel schedule, but I heard they did great on their speeches and that they looked good in their new outfits. Max had a big day anyway. He put himself down for a nap right before Mama left to go to the airport. He spent the rest of the evening and all of the next week looking for her.
