Celebrating Easter!

I love Easter celebration. Along with the joy we have knowing that we serve a risen Savior there is also the promise of spring sunshine and warmer temps. Easter means summer is even closer...and I LOOOVE summer:) The kiddos posed for our yearly Easter photo after church. I used to get all fancy-like with their clothes when they were babes but now...eh. Let's dress up in what we've got and roll on. They're handsome/beautiful either way! 



Elaina did our church's yearly egg hunt and she let Pastor Bunny hold her for a picture. We've come a long way since it wasn't too long ago that PB made her cry:)

Elaina met up with one of her bffs, Garrison. 


And, off to hunt! 


Sunday after church is always our cousin egg hunt. This year it was warm enough for Elaina to change out of her church dress right into her swim suit! 


I never have gotten into the tradition of doing easter baskets from the bunny. I think it probably stems back to me forgetting one year and no one made a fuss so I figured from then on I'd just make my life a little less complicated and not even fool with that. What we do do is hide a bunch of money eggs and the kids go nuts about that. 


Rhett made off with the $10 egg this year! 

This is probably one of my most favorite pictures of all time. Look at little Sugar Sweetness in her suit with all of those colorful eggs!  I just think she's beautiful:)


G counted up all of his money. I think he ended up with around 30 bucks when all was said and done! I think that's pretty good for an egg hunt! 

And, here's my Cader Tater. He's growing up...sigh. 

His stash wasn't too shabby! Pile o' money, pile o' rolos. What more could you ask for? 
Another wonderful Easter celebration in the books. I'm thankful for these kids of mine that run amuck and hunt eggs, for sunny days of spring, and for my Jesus that loved me enough to die for me but could not be contained by the grave!

Hit the Fields!


All three boys are officially in season now. Bye bye any moment of free time I thought that I might have and hello fields of dirt and dreams! 



Mule Day, Y'all!


The kids lucked out and didn't have baseball until the afternoon. That meant they could make it to the annual Mule Day Parade! They got their yearly t-shirts from Nana and Papa and were off to watch mules trod down Columbia's main street. 

Elaina found a pair of dazzled up mule ears. She's pretty much the cutest thing ever:)
