Easter Sunday!!!

What a WONDERFUL Easter we had.  Every Easter we get up a little extra early to see what the Easter bunny left and to get to church earlier because the deacons always have a pancake breakfast for any members who want to come.  Well, Friday night we started putting Blake in Connor's room to sleep.  He'd done really well EXCEPT now he thinks it is time to get up around 6:00 or 6:30.  Well, Easter morning it was 5:55.  So, I got up even earlier than I had planned.

Here are the boys checking out their Easter baskets.

And the traditional family picture

Then we headed off to church for a fabulous service...Resurrection Sunday!!  Our service was just spectacular.  Then we followed tradition and went to our adoptive parent's house for lunch.  They have invited us over for lunch for as long as I can remember since Aaron and I have been married.  Brenda had the kid's table set very cute and this year had invited a couple of other couples, so eating was extended into 2 rooms instead of just one...the under 40 room and over 40 rooms!  Ha!

Egg hunting time...



The boys had a terrific time but were worn out!  But, one of our friends asked us if we'd like to go to a local state park and hike in a few hours.  We've never taken the boys, so we thought that would be lots of fun.  So, we brought them home, let them sleep for about 45 minutes and then headed out to the park.  Of course, the boys loved it.

Fun, heart-smiling times!
