Easter

I love Easter!!! Easter is a reminder of new beginnings, blessings, and beauty! God has blessed us in so many ways, and I am so thankful!!!!

Saturday morning we dyed our eggs. It was somewhat organized, or at least it started that way! Then it turned into organized chaos! But still lots of fun!

After dying our eggs, we went to the Johnson's for their annual egg hunt.

We always have a great time and appreciate so much them hosting this each year for the children!

Okay, now that's more like it!

Everyone look and say cheese!

After services at church, everyone came over for lunch and an egg hunt. Some of the children thought they were too old to hunt eggs! After reading Megan's post on her egg hunt, I have some ideas for next year and possibly some new traditions to get them involved again! Such a fun family and a great example of never being too old for whatever it may be!!

Carter's 2nd Easter! Last year he was only a week old!

He just had his first birthday! He is so adorable!

Wished I had all the children and myself in it!

So precious!

It was a beautiful day celebrating and spending time with our family!

Mushy Mama!

Yesterday morning I wore my new Easter frock, a cute little cap sleeved wrap dress. My sweet Carson was snuggled up close to me with his arm wrapped around my arm and he says, " Mama you are so mushy!" Several of the ladies sitting close by heard him and we all got tickled! Nothing like being reminded by our sweet children the reality of our flaws! That's okay though, because he loves me and all my mushiness! Ha!
