Easter.... and catch up.

This is a long post, be forewarned.  We started our Easter Sunday with an amazing church and worship service.... with 2 of my favorite worship leaders... ohhhhhh, it just doesn't get any better than that! Just sets the tone for the whole day.  And then we headed over to the Cheathams for lunch and some egg hunting.

Well, we enjoyed another Easter Sunday as a family of 5.  I remember that when we took this picture .... I thought that for sure it would be our last Easter picture without Little Man. I was so wrong! :(

I'm gonna do this post backwards from Easter and backing up... cuz, I want the family picture first! ha!

oh! and let me just say... for the record... it was kinda gross and muggy... and thus the ponytail in my hair.  I'm vain like that... had to explain. ha!  oh and btw - I didn't wear that dress to church either.  For the 1st time, I didn't buy an Easter outfit... just didn't... so the dress I wore to church, I decided I wasn't a fan of, so I changed.  Like anyone cares.... but I'm just saying, for when I look back at this in 20 years... and wonder why I had that dress on and also why my hair was in a ponytail (and because I usually make it about 30 minutes of everyday with my hair down until it goes in a ponytail.)... that's why. enough about me.

moving on to my adorable kids....

Getting ready for hunting eggs

Even Little Man got a basket!

Moving backwards to Easter morning and baskets...

and still backwards to Saturday to our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt... where one of my daughters was the Easter Bunny!  She did a really great job!

Brooks and his friend Brandon played football instead of hunting eggs.

This is the picture where I threatened the Easter Bunny for a grounding until next Easter if she dropped this 5 day old baby!!!!!! Sweet sister K has a new baby brother, K! Darling!

And backing up to over a week ago!  Sweet Mrs. Suzanne... hosted a cinnamon roll making party... while teaching us how to make cinnamon rolls and also benefitting the Noel Orphanage in Rwanda and helping adoptive families raise funds to bring their little ones home.  I sold Ordinary Hero gear and also the monogrammed beach towels.  I am so very thankful that Suzanne threw this fun little shin dig.  We had a great time!   And...I am so happy to be traveling this road with these 2 precious girls! Can't wait for them to bring their babies home from Ethiopia and Rwanda!

Okay.... I think I'm caught up now!
