Easter Egg Hunt

Sunday afternoon, we gave the kids their Easter baskets!

And then, the Easter Bunny came!

The kids always get so competitive finding all of the eggs!

They crack us up!

After searching everywhere, Daddy helped them find ones they'd missed!

I love the stair step!

Inspecting their loot!

Easter Family Pictures

On Saturday afternoon, we went to a special Easter service at church for all of the volunteers.  Before we left, we took some family pictures.

 

I love this one!  And I love the boys matching!

We are so grateful that Jesus was risen!

The way Jackson's standing here cracks me up!

I can't even.

I just can't.

My heart.

I love these two cuties!

On Sunday, we worked at a couple of the church services, and then went out with Bryan's family for Easter lunch.  Since we were all dressed up again, we took more pictures!  Hooray!

This picture is my new favorite!!

Jackson took this one of me and Papa Bear.

Easter Breakfast

I love Easter!  And I love Easter brunch!

 

We were going to have Easter brunch Saturday morning, so I set the table Friday after dinner.  I love decorating the table!

Everyone got a cute little place card

 

and a chocolate bunny!

 

This is one of my favorite things to make each Easter--the tomb with the stone rolled away showing that Jesus was not there!

We had bacon...obviously!

Carrot cake pancakes.

Sausage cheese balls.

Fruit salad.

Adorable bunny straws!

I love Easter brunch with my people!

He is Risen!

 

Forever He is glorified

Forever He is lifted high

Forever He is risen

He is alive, He is alive!

Sweet Sarah

As sweet Sarah's getting older, Bryan and I are becoming such great friends with her!  It's been so fun!

 

Last Wednesday, Bryan started serving at our church's youth night.  He's mentoring the 8th grade boys, and he really loves that he gets to spend time with Sarah while he's there.  On their way home from church, he and Sarah picked up dinner for the three of us.  Any time we have dinner--or dessert!--with Sarah once J's in bed, we just stand around the island to eat and talk.  We always have so much fun doing this, and we have to try really hard to not wake Jackson!

On Thursday morning, Sarah and I did more talking and laughing than we did reading from our Bible, but it was perfect!  We just love watching our sweet girl grow up, and we're having the best time getting even closer to her!
