Happy Easter 2014

We hope you and yours had a wonderful Easter celebrating our Risen King! It was a gorgeous, sunny spring day, perfect for hunting eggs and blowing bubbles in the backyard. Here are some highlights...

 Easter morning and the girls ran down the stairs with Daddy to find their Easter baskets...

This year they got backyard themed baskets: Watering cans, badminton game, Frisbee, sandals and the Frozen movie (well almost all of it was themed :) not to mention a chocolate bunny!

Madison enjoyed going through her basket, although she really wanted to dip into the candy before breakfast. LOL

We let our Easter Bunnies take a nibble before church...

This was the first Easter service at our church, Stone Hill Church of Princeton in the new building. This was our second year attending service here, and we absolutely love our church home. They had a sweet egg hunt in the nursery's playground for the little's. 

Ready to hunt some eggs!

 Madison couldn't have cared less about the eggs, she wanted to play and go down the slide!

After church our dear friends the Vickermans' came over for Easter lunch with their daughter, Lila (middle).

I opted to get a Honey Baked Ham for the ease of it, and made scalloped potatoes, green beans and rolls to go with it. I also made a decadent Carrot Cake with buttermilk glaze and cream cheese frosting. One word: YUM!

 After lunch we blew bubbles in the backyard...

 Precious big girl...

 Taking a ride in the jeep.. look out folks, these drivers need some practice!

 Later in the day Jarrett watered some areas on our grass where he sprinkled some seed. Madison, who cannot stay out of the water had to run through it...

 "Mommy, I all wet and COLD!"

 Lindsay helping Daddy water the grass...

Here's my Carrot Cake... I had to send the remainder of this baby with Jarrett to work on Monday. I would've eaten the entire thing myself. No joke.

Wishing you a Happy and Blessed Easter. May Christ's love and hope fill you heart the whole year through! 

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead... 1 Peter 1:3
