He is Risen!

We had a wonderful weekend full of fun! We went to a big Eggstravaganza party put on at a local park by our church, colored easter eggs, ate lots of food and had some great family time!
Today for Easter lunch we went to Greg's parents house and there were 49 people there---it was so great! Every year Debbie and Jerry open their home to anyone that doesn't have a place to go for Easter dinner and this year we were able to round up a ton of people--17 kids! We had a wonderful time and the kids had another big egg hunt, decorated cookies and got lots of candy(yeah:P)!
I decided to put together a slide show to cover all the great pictures we got! I hope you all enjoy--I also wanted to explain the Easter Garden that you will see in the pictures. Growing up Greg's mom did this with her boys and it was a tradition I felt was a wonderful way to teach the kids about the resurrection story! So every year the kids and I plant some flowers in a pot and put a "tomb" in it and on Easter morning the kids get to go outside and see that the stone was rolled away. The kids love this tradition and they can't wait to wake-up and run outside and see if the stone has moved--and if we're lucky Mommy makes it outside before they get up and moves the stone--this morning I was "lucky" :)


We hope you all had a great Easter!
