Easter Sunday.

Hello. Happy late Easter ;). Here are some pics and writings from Sunday.

Paul and I woke up early that morning to hunt for Easter eggs and see what the "Easter Bunny" had brought. I got alotta Peeps, Wii Sports Resort, an orange and black rosary for the O's And a suncatcher which looks like this



The Easter eggs that Mom made. Mom: The blue is
from red cabbage!








Can you see a difference
 in these two pictures?

Funny sacristy tale.

Funny? More like hillarious! So anyway, Deacon Jack teaches something at a school, and since it's Easter Break, He got the day off. So in the sacristy, I found my favorite cincture! I was so happy. Then I lit the candles which was very hard. Cause of the pascal candle. And then Deacon Jack and I started talking Baseball. And then Fr. Joe came in. Alright. Now we're after the consicration
Fr. Joe (reading eucharistic prayer): Make us grow in love with Benedict, our pope (A Fly lands on the temple of his glasses) Edwin our administrator (THE FLY IS HIS EYE!!)

It was quite funny ;).

Sweep!

Florida day four

Anna Maria Beach.

On Sunday, we went to mass -no kneelers, sappy music-. Then we went to a neighborhood brunch. It was delicious!! And then when we got back Paul said "now we can swim all day in the pool!" And Mom said not quite. We're going to Anna Maria Beach!" Here's the only video from Anna Maria

 Paul and I surfed for a while before we went. And every time I got hit by a wave, There was something I cannot explain. I felt like I didn't know who I was! So every time after I got hit by a wave, I reminded Myself  that I was Xav. Toward the end, I just got hit by a wave, and then I was sitting down. And then, a ten foot wave comes outta no where! And splashes down on me! Moments before it got on me, I turned myself on my stomach (which was a pretty stupid idea) and then the wave comes right down on me! And then... I don't know what happened but next thing I knew, I had pebbles in my swimsuit. So then, I got my clothes and changed, and then we went home. And then Paul and I swam the rest of the evening.
