Easter

Easter was awesome! Except for the part where Steven was at work from 10-6. Boo! We were able to snap a quick picture before the kids and I rushed off to church and Steven to work. Even though it's a little off center and I look pregnant (I'm NOT by the way) it's not too bad! Church was wonderful...an amazing service with incredible music and message. I let Matt come to the service with me that morning and he did really, really well. He was in awe of the music and all the instruments. I was proud of him for sitting mostly still through the whole thing.
After church we went over to the Moran's for lunch and fellowship. Sarah worked hard and prepared a delicious, wonderful meal. It was a beautiful day and we got to enjoy our tasty lunch outside, kids' table and all.
After stuffing ourselves silly we set up a table and let the kids dye Easter eggs and decorate and devour cookies and krispie treats.
Then we had an egg hunt. The kids about beat the door down as they ran outside to get them. They were excited to say the least.
There was lots of trampoline jumping. The next day Matt told me they were playing "dead man" where one person lays down flat and everybody has to jump and help bring the person back to life. Awesome.
Then we had a little photo session. I think it may have started when Mary Claire said, "Will somebody come and take my picture with the bunnies?" And then you'll notice in all the pictures she's holding Gracie and smiling so prettily. She's funny.
Matthew is such a lovable dork. :)
This is my favorite with Hankus.
What a great day. We stayed and visited until it was finally time to come home and meet the hard-working bread-winner of the family who we missed greatly that day. I'm thankful for my resurrected Saviour, I'm thankful for my family, and I'm thankful that my boys have sweet cousins that they adore playing with. Blessed!
