Easter 2012

Easter time was filled with lots of fun things!

We kicked it off with our church's annual Easter Egg hunt at the Blackstone's house. Their property has a lake and fields & woods....PERFECT for hunting eggs!

Out in the field finding eggs!

The next day, we did an early Easter lunch with Matt's family since we would be at LTC on Easter weekend. Nonna & Poppa made the day so special with lunch, an egg hunt & a cute little craft for the kiddos to do. We had a blast! The kids even swam & had snow cones. Couldn't believe how hot it was for it to be the last weekend in March!

Owen was supposed to find all the purple eggs. He did!

The next week we headed to Dallas for Leadership Training for Christ with our church family. We stayed at the Hilton Anatole & had a blast as usual. We had over 5,000 people in worship that Sunday. What a wonderful way to celebrate our risen Savior!

When we came home, we hunted eggs for the THIRD time with our neighborhood. There is an egg hunt every Easter. We enjoyed getting to meet more of our new neighbors & let Owen play with the kiddos. It was a great time! I also snapped a few Easter pics of Owen while we were there. I didn't think to get any of us as a family. :( Oh well...maybe next year! :)

My handsome big boy. We just couldn't possibly love him more than we do already!

We had a great Easter, but then the next day, my Dad had a light stroke. It was a terrifying day full of unanswered questions, but as the day ended, all of his reports came back great! The stroke only had some short term effects and he will make a full recovery. TO GOD BE THE GLORY! We are so thankful God's healing hands were on my precious Dad!
