Easter 2008

He is risen!

We were very busy this Easter season, as we are every year. We once again participated in the orchestra for the Lafayette Passion Play, presented by our church. We had two Saturday morning orchestra rehearsals followed by whole-production rehearsals on the Tuesday and Wednesday before Easter. The performances were Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night, March 20, 21, & 22. The Passion Play truly is a professional-style performance while also being a great opportunity to reach out to our community.

The orchestra also played for services at church on Easter Sunday morning. We had a great time of worshipping our risen Savior with our church family.

That afternoon we went to Wesley's parents' house for a wonderful Easter dinner. Sara's parents were invited as well, and we enjoyed Jillaine's awesome ham, green beans, mashed potatoes and corn casserole (Sara's favorite). We also "hunted" for Kinder-eggs (a German chocolate hollow egg with a toy inside!), which is an Easter tradition for the Shoops. We all enjoyed eating our chocolate and putting together our small toys.

Even though it was early this year and seemed to be over rather quickly, we had a nice Easter.

He is risen indeed!
