Our Easter, 2010

-Just to preface this post, it's mainly for the grandparents that didn't get to see the boys on Easter morning, that's why there are about 54,000 pictures!

We had a fantastic Easter Sunday!  The boys enjoyed looking at all the cards that all our family sent them and they got to look inside their baskets too!  Of course, we were late to church, but we weren't terribly late, so it was OK!

The church service was great and the cardboard testimonies that were presented by members of the church made me cry!  I forgot to get a picture of the big cross made out of lillies up in the front of the church.  It was beautiful!

We started our morning off by opening cards,



and looking at our Easter baskets.



My grandmother sent a precious little chick that sings and both boys love it!!



They all loved their cards.  Our whole coffee table was full of them by the end of the morning!



John Michael got a "Cars" plate and some bubbles and Matthew finally got a mobile for his crib; although it's broken and I have to return it to Wal-Mart!



Yes, we had the nursery workers take our family picture for us!  Both boys wore khaki and white.  I did not attempt to match them.  White is not a post-partum woman's friend.



Me with my little snuggler



And me with my little wiggly two year old! 



It is SO hard to get good pictures.  JM will not stay still!



Of course, Matthew wore MeMe's first Easter bibs that she sent.  I think they were mine and my brother's.



For lunch we did something a little different.  We ended up getting together with 3 other couples from Sunday School.  We all live very close by and none of us spent Easter with relatives, so it was so nice to celebrate Easter together instead of sitting at home!



Afterward, all the dads and little boys went out to the yard and played with kites, footballs, sidewalk chalk and bubbles!  They had a blast.  We moms talked and held onto the little ones.  We had a fantastic time, ate wonderful food, and made our boys completely exhausted!



John Michael was pointing to Jordan's eye.  I think you can see him saying "eye!" in this picture!




Matthew just hung out on the blanket with the other babies!



A great time was had by all!  Now, good night!  I'm exhausted!

Great post sweetie! It was a wonderful, fun day on Easter. Service was great and Bro. Junior Hill was excellent as always... lots of people saved this week! I believe 32 between both services!! And then our fellowship with friends was a blast, and I think the kids had fun too. :-)

Love you, and hope you have a great day!

We loved all the pictures!! It's not the same as being there.....but it sure does make it better. The whole family looked beautiful. It looks like it was a wonderful Easter at the Wigley house. We are all very blessed....for sure. Also loved the excitement of JM and Braxton's faces as they are playing outside.
