Easter 2012

Our Easter began with baskets full of chocolate bunnies, marshmallow peeps, jellybeans, and colorful eggs!


Grace was so excited with each candy filled egg!


It didn't take long for Carter to stuff his mouth full of jellybeans!


The kids also got some pretty awesome sunglasses!


Now, that we were all on a sugar high, we decided to continue it and make resurrection rolls for breakfast.


We celebrated an empty tomb!!!


At church, we worked in the nursery and played with lots of cute kids in new Easter clothes!

We are so thankful for a family to spend the day with, a church who adores our Savior, two sweet kids to celebrate this precious day with, and our Jesus who was willing to give His life for us!

What a wonderful Easter!

So far, this Easter weekend we have got a lot of family time in!  We had a fun dinner at Huey's last night!



Carter had a rough night and a tough morning. He was SUPER fussy, wouldn't sleep, and had a small fever.  We decided to go ahead and take him to the doctor and according to the doctor, he has two raging ear infections!  Poor guy!  I'm thinking that he has basically had his ear's infected for about a month and a half and the antibiotics that he has been on just aren't working.  He got an antibiotic shot today and seemed better almost immediately.  Hopefully, this will be the end of that story!

Tonight, we had a movie night.  I made my own version of bunny bait...popcorn and Easter peanut m&m's.  Yum!






I love us!  And, we missed Carter!  He was sleeping; hopefully, getting rested and healthy!


Oh Glorious Day



One day they led Him up Calvary's mountain
One day they nailed Him to die on a tree
Suffering anguish, despised and rejected
Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He
Hands that healed nations, stretched out on a tree

Living, He loved me 

Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away
Rising, He justified freely forever
One day He's coming
Oh glorious day!

One day the grave could conceal Him no longer
One day the stone rolled away from the door
Then He arose, over death He had conquered
Now He's ascended, my Lord evermore
Death could not hold Him
The grave could not keep Him from rising again!

Oh glorious day!
