Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! We had a wonderful Easter this year. The boys were really excited about all the eggs, bunnies, baskets, coloring eggs, and the Easter egg hunt. Thatcher found the stash of Easter Bunny goodies the day before Easter, so he wasn't surprised at all by his loot. Taggy asked me, "what is this?" and I said, "the Easter Bunny brought it to you!" and Thatcher added "nuh uh...you gave it to us, it was all in your closet!" Great. 4 years old and the magic is already gone. Nice. Oh well. Anyway, the boys had a great Easter morning filled with too much sugar and lots of fun Easter toys. We enjoyed being together as a family, going to Church, eating a yummy Easter dinner and most importantly celebrating and remembering such a wonderful event, the resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ. We know that he did suffer and die for us and three days later the garden tomb was empty as he conquered death, with "healing in his wings". We are grateful that because of Him and through Him we are able to be together as a family forever.

Dad says, why didn't you make up a story like the Easter Bunny needs help in storing all of the loot until Easter Morning. So he has moms and dads keep the loot in their closets??? That Thatch is a pistol!

Hi Rachael - you look beautiful in your picture. :) Looks like Easter was SO fun. Hey....I wanted to thank you for your sweet comments on my blog. Life has been interesting, that's for sure. But...I wouldn't change it for anything. I'm SO lucky to have Ben. Somedays I just wish I had a little more stamina, it's exhausting being a mom in two places. Thanks again though! Glad you are adjusting to Kentucky!
