Easter 2013

We woke to a wet, rather cool Easter.  However, it was still a beautiful day!  We had planned to attend sunrise services at Hebron, but the thunder and lightening kept us away.  We have really enjoyed that the past 2 years. Following services at our church, we joined the family at Sandra and Tony's cabin for a wonderful lunch and time with the family. Here's a little recap of this special day.

He might be 23, but he's still the baby!  He refused to look at me for the pictures as he checked out his Easter basket!

Everyone brought flowers to decorate the cross at our church service.  Beautiful!

On to the cabin - I love these special get togethers!  When we left, Caleb said that we really needed to do this more often.  I couldn't agree more!

There was no Easter egg hunt this year, but there was still lots of fun!

Aunt Sandra organized a scavenger hunt for the kids.  The girls were the butterflies, and the boys were the frogs.  Each team had a list of things to find and place in a zip loc bag!  They loved it!

And they are off!

Congratulations to Team Butterfly on their victory!!

 I think this is the first Easter ever that I haven't gotten a family picture in front of the azaleas, due to the weather.  But inspite of the rain, it was still a wonderful day!  One of God's greatest gifts is family!


Also, during Spring Break the girls came back for another visit.  Believe it or not, I barely got my camera out!  Jessi came over a couple of days and helped out with the girls.  We had a great time dying eggs and making cookies.  Lillian was close by ready to help out if needed.

It's easier to dye eggs if you sit on the table!

Thanks Jessi!!

This weekend will be filled with many fun events -  Two T-ball games, Maddie singing at church, Lillian's dedication and Maddie's birthday party!  We can't wait!
