The hunt.

And....they're off. Even Lily is old enough this year to really get into the spirit of the hunt.

 

 And I just had to post a picture of the "hiders".

More Easter pictures

Love the boys "Easter baskets/laundry baskets" they brought to the egg hunt the City of Barling holds each year. They love coming to this one.

Lily has really gotten the hang of this egg hunting thing this year.

Then Sunday on to Aunt Detra's where the hunting is fine but the prize basket is soooo much better. But first we had to do individual pictures and group cousin pictures. So thankful these guys get to see each other enough that they don't have any bashfulness when they get together. They just start playing like they just saw each other yesterday.

 This picture just might embarrass these two when they are older, but maybe not.

 These two have been having their picture taken from here.....

to here.....

Hope they will always be close.

 

Pictures, pictures and more

As a family, we take tons of pictures and since I use this blog as a way to eventually get my pictures printed in one place, I post a lot of pictures here. So here goes for our Easter pictures. Also, although we do have a lot of fun at Easter, we also know why we even have Easter. Jesus was crucified, died and the rose again. Thank you Jesus for your sacrifice, for your love, for everything you do for us day after day but especially for the love that you gave us on the cross. Someday we will see you face to face and what a wonderful day that will be.
We start with our annual Easter egg dying of the eggs. I started not to do that his year because of the disinterest the two older boys had with the Christmas cookies but decided to go ahead since the two little ones were still interested. Turns out the older boys loved it too.
