Happy Easter!!!

We had a WONDERFUL Easter weekend with family & friends. We kicked things off with Celebration's annual Easter egg hunt downtown at Lakeside Park. Each of our kids were in a different age group this year, which was nice & convenient for snapping pictures. Justin actually had to go on an egg scavenger hunt all over downtown, following clues to different businesses. He was sweaty by the time he got back to the park!

On Sunday morning, the kids searched for eggs around the house & yard and then did a scavenger hunt to find their Easter "prize", a tradition we started a couple years ago. It's a lot of work, but a lot of fun too! We made resurrection rolls for breakfast. Jesus body is a marshmallow rolled with "embalming" butter and cinnamon & sugar "spices" and put in crescent roll "linen clothes". After baking, Jesus' marshmallow body is no longer in the tomb. He is risen! We then dressed for church to celebrate His resurrection.

Roger & Sharon offered to have Easter brunch at their house... delicious, thank you Sharon! It was a beautiful, sunny day in the low 80's. We spent most of it in our bathing suits - playing on the shore of the lake, catching baby fresh water shrimp & minnows, boating, kayaking, playing with the dogs, etc. We were happy Blake could join us along with one of his college buddies, Trey, and his 9-month-old lab, Lexie.

We are all so blessed and give thanks every day!!!
