Easter 2011

We spent Easter weekend, which was also TAG’s birthday weekend at our sister & brother-in-law’s house. But before we left,  Friday morning we had a little family cake & present time. Happy 31st Birthday to my man! I love you & am so thankful for all you do for me as a wife & us as a family!



Riley was so cute singing Happy Birthday to TAG. Unfortunately, since Riley was so impatient to cut into the cake :0) I didn’t get a picture of TAG & the kids all together. Oops!



We spent all day Saturday out on the river & it was so nice to finally be back out on the water. I will try to post more about that tomorrow.

Sunday morning the Easter Bunny had come to Aunt Brooke & Uncle Josh’s house when we woke up! When we were walking the kids into the living room, I asked Riley who came to the house last night & his response was “A wrabbit!”



After we checked out the loot, we dyed Easter eggs.



And ate chocolate for breakfast. Averly had the evidence all over her face.



Then it was time to get ready for church. After the service was over we had a little Easter egg hunt for all the kids at the church. It was Riley & Averly’s first time to hunt eggs. It sounds crazy that Riley is 2.5 & never hunted Easter eggs, but his first Easter he was only about 5 months old & last year I had just had Averly so we were not really up to it. He was so funny because he found his first egg, then stopped to open it, thinking he was done. He didn't quite understand that he was supposed to get as many as he could & then open them. TAG helped him & eventually he caught on & got a lot of eggs. Averly even found some by herself too!

This was about the closest to a picture of the two of them that I could get the whole day. Even though their faces don’t really look like it, they were so excited & would not be still for a picture.



Riley was ready to get started!



Riley & Aunt B at the starting line.

  

Although there was a lot of other kids there, I only managed to get this cute picture of Luke showing me his eggs.

 

Averly was excited to check out all of her goodies, too.



Uncle Josh is Riley’s new buddy!



One of our rare family photos. It is so hard to get 4 people to smile & look at the camera at once! Ha!



Happy Easter!

The angel said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; He has risen, just as He said. Come and see the place where He lay. Then go quickly and tell His disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him. Now I have told you.’ Matthew 28:5-7
