Easter

We began the festivities with an Easter Egg hunt Good Friday with lots of our church friends

It was very muddy, but made for some good puddle jumpin' for the kiddies!

Avery and a few of her buddies 

Off to hunt eggs!

I actually forgot my camera for the egg hunt-- But some of my good friends got these great pics of my kiddos!  Thanks gals:)

Ansley and Theo

His mom and I had the same due date... He is two weeks older!

& Sunday the Easter Bunny paid our new house a visit!

**I really wanted to be moved into our new house for Easter so- we moved in Easter weekend.

In my mind it all worked out nicely and envisioned us being all settled by Easter morn.

This was not the case and yet again my unrealistic expectations didn't turn out as planned

BUT I did finish Avery's Easter dress by 3am Sunday morning (in time for Easter) and we had a Fantastic Easter morning. (Despite boiling water for baths and our big key fiasco- but we'll save that for another post)

 This is not how I pictured Easter morn in my head but still good:)

We also talked about the resurrection and in my primary class I ventured from the book a little and let all the kids talk about Jesus (their favorite stories and how they feel about him)

It was such a refreshing Sunday and yet another reminder of how grateful I am for our Savior's sacrifice for each of us.

 The girls and the goodies

 Our friends from GA shared Easter with us and it was a treat!

I would have never stayed up til 3am to sew alone...

 Pics of our CUTIES

 It must be impossible to get 4 kids to look at the camera all at once

 Ansley and Carter

I know she loves having a play date all the time like big sis

 Avery and Aubrey

 Neither are looking

But this is them:)

 Ansley was loving huntin' the eggs

 Such a big girl-- makes me a lil sad

 & of course lovin' the chocolate
