We will celebrate with family back in Seffner after worship on Easter Sunday, so 

our celebration was lowkey today at home, but still made for a very happy 9 year old... 

lunch from McDonalds, an ice cream cake and getting to open one present. 

Plus he got to play the high priest in Druid Hills Easter Tableau tonight and 

his friends the Baugher girls brought him cupcakes!
