Easter 2012

Easter was wonderful this year! We had some of the most beautiful weather and so many fun things going on. I posted LOTS of pictures. There is just no other way around it...

Collin at his class party. It actually rained that day, so no egg hunt :( But no one seemed to mind.

On Good Friday, we visited the Easter Bunny at the mall and then headed over to see one of the kids' many "bunnies" that gives them treats - Mee Maw, Paw Paw and Pammie :) 

Lolly and Poppy came over that evening to help us dye our eggs... and deliver more treats :) 

Saturday morning was our church egg hunt. The kids had a ball in the big jump. 

Collin with his girlfriend friend that is a girl, Blair. These two were inseparable! I even caught him finding eggs and giving them to her ;) ;) 

Brantlee got a little shy when it came to egg hunting.

But NOT when it came to jumping with the big kids!

My attempt at some sweet pictures of them together.

My hearts :) 

Collin has NEVER been quite so eager to get up (at 6:45 a.m.) 

Ready to check out what the Bunny brought them! 

All ready for church!

Can you spot Stella?? Poor thing. In the middle of our photo shoot, she got excited and tried to get involved. Needless to say, she is in time out :/

Sunday afternoon, we had a huge family gathering at Lolly and Poppy's house where we ate lots, hunted more eggs, and enjoyed some time with cousins. 

9 great grandkids and counting :) :) 

On a mission for more eggs!

Thank you Jesus for your sacrifice. Because of you, we have the freedom from sin to truly enjoy all things - the big and the small. May our hearts be filled with love for you and for others all year long.
