Happy Easter 2011

We were so blessed to be able to be home with our families for Easter!  We're rarely home for major holidays, so I was so happy to be amongst family for such a special holiday as Easter.  We all got dressed and made it (somewhat on time) for one of the Easter services at church.  It was so nice to spend a beautiful, sunny morning being so thankful for the Cross and what it means to us on a daily basis. 

Just like John Michael's Easter verse he memorized, He is RISEN!  I am so proud of him for memorizing his first verse!  It was fun to share the Easter story with him this year and have him catch on a little more than last year.

Happy Easter everyone!

Matthew has this look on his face in every picture!  Either way, they were the cutest, most precious boys at church on Easter!  I loved their outfits.  I literally wanted to just eat them up!

Matthew snuggled with Bop after church.  He was pretty tired and just wanted to be rocked for some of the day.

We let the boys nap after lunch at Gaga's and then we headed over to Meme's house for a big Easter dinner with everyone!

John Michael was happy to go "jump, jump, jump" at the neighbor's house.

After dinner we threw some plastic eggs around the yard and let the boys gather them up.  I wanted so badly to dye eggs for the boys, but we have been SUPER busy since we've been home and I have been so tired, so no eggs this year.  That's ok, they loved that there was a single M&M inside each one!

 

So many eggs!

 

We had a great Easter and I think the boys loved getting eggs, candy, and their baskets from their grandparents.  We were just blessed and happy to be with our families!
