Christ is risen! Lovely Easter day spent with family.

{Easter 2014}

We had a busy Easter weekend filled with various festivities.
Enjoyed the beautiful wedding and headed to church for the Easter morning service.

This two are our joy and blessing!

Goofing around with their Tita Susan before going to brunch.

Earlier that morning, the Easter Bunny stopped by our house and left the kiddies some goodies.

Good Friday, William's Godfather came to visit. We had egg dyeing activity for the kids, while the grown up battle eggs.

The kids each had their own egg hunting event at their schools. William's class egg hunt was awesome! Each kid had a list of eggs that they had to hunt for. They have a lil cheat sheet and this made the egg hunt/scavenger hunt so fun! Two special eggs must be found by each kid. An egg with their name on it, and had a special candy inside. And a prize egg specific for a boy or girl, that has a number inside, and they can trade it in for a special toy.

Lots of preparation from his teachers and parental volunteers made this event so succesful!

So pumped that he found all the eggs on his list!

Little siblings were welcome at the hunt. Special tiny eggs were placed for them.

The boys showing their price eggs.

It was so fun to volunteer to this event, each parents had a bag of candy and we were assigned a specific egg design. Kids trade those egg with us for a piece of candy.

Bunny ears with his best buddy Rowan.

Saturday morning, we got up early for soccer and came hurrying to Samantha's school Easter egg hunt after. Rain or shine, this lil girl was ready for it. She's been talking about it all week!

We had a couple of showers that morning, so the event was moved indoors. Plenty of activities and the kids still had a blast!

Easter 2013

A beautiful day to celebrate the Lord with family. Funny story, I am trying my best to teach our kids the real meaning of holidays. Easter bunny and egg hunting is fun but I wanted the kids to know what Easter is about.  So Good Friday, I told William is the day that the Lord died...he freaked out and said, "what, Jesus died?" Oh my, I think I just traumatized my child! So much for trying to be all serious and righteous on holidays.

We attended our morning church service with my sister. Much easier to explain that the Lord is risen!

After mass, we started making our way south to meet family for brunch and more egg hunting. We made it just in time for the Country club's annual egg hunt. They had a small crowd of egg hunters and there were more than enough eggs for everybody.

We enjoyed brunch and it was great spending time with family. My nieces and nephew are growing up way to fast. My kids absolutely adore them.

Easter basket goodies from Grandmommy and Granddaddy are always a favorite of the kids. William got his giant Skylanders and Samantha got a sassy cat Webkins. How appropriate for her! :)

We met up with friends for breakfast and then headed to our church's annual Easter Egg Hunt. It's been raining in Atlanta and was so happy that we got some sunshine during the egg hunt.

These kids are growing up way too fast.

My expert egg hunters.

The boys were happy to take pictures with the Easter bunny.

This is the only picture of Samantha "with" the Easter bunny :)

William also got his face painted with a bunny.

Kids checking out their loot. As you can see William is already enjoying his candy!

The church's Boy Scout built this fun area around the church ground. The kids had so much fun playing in there. These slides were perfect for that steep hill. The kids had fun sliding over and over and over.

These cutie pies are so adorable. I am so glad that Teeball brought all of us together. We adore the J family. Sad that they moved up in the suburb, but so glad that we are still able to get together.

Then at night the Easter bunny came by the house to give the kids their goodies.
