He has RISEN!

Ooooo, what a cold cold Easter! What a great great day though! Our Savior lives!



We had a busy busy day, first we woke up early and found that the Easter Bunny had hidden all of the eggs that we colored last night! So the kids looked for all of those and found them quite quickly! Then they found thier easter buckets, the Easter Bunny didn't go overboard this year, in fact he/she kept it quite simple, and I'm so happy, I was feeling guilty, but after this day, I'm ok with it! Landon got basketball cards, Bailey got a few littlest pet shop animals and Elliot got a car keys set and Wiggles board book, the older kids got some candy too!

Here are some pics of our family and thier easter buckets!
And some pics of thier sweetest easter outfits! Doesn't Elliot look adorable? Matt doesn't like this style hat, I on the other hand love it, and I win! Bailey couldn't wear her new dress that Grandma got her b/c it was a sun dress and doesn't look that great with boots, and sandels weren't going to work today! But she had a new outfit to wear anyway!
We went to the early service at church, which is completely out of the norm for us, it is a more traditional service and we are used to the more contemporary service, the songs are just more us, but we had to go up north and wouldn't make it in time if we had gone to the usual service, it was different, but it wasn't bad singing the hymns, especially for Easter! After church we headed up north to visit with family and eat a great lunch (half way there we realized that we forgot the brownies, so we had to stop at Walmart and pick some up...so now I have two pans of brownies sitting on my counter, just what I need on top of all that great easter candy)! After visiting for a bit we headed home to find that Landon and Bailey had left thier easter candy out on the floor and Dexter had indulged himself, and then left us a few presents around the house, it must have made him sooo sick! Then for dinner we went to Matt's mom's house, so needless to say, plenty of eating today! Following is a pic of the kids at Matt's mom's, Elliot was in his jammies by this time!

So, I hope everyone else had a great easter and have a great week, I will be gone for a bit but will return later this week! Lot's of prep to do before I leave though, so busy busy busy day for me tomorow!
