Easter Sunday



This is the first day of my 'blogging' life! Easter Sunday. It's kind of fitting. A new beginning! Easter was nice. We are holding onto the last of our "Easter Bunny" believe with our children and the excitement that comes with it. But also teaching the true meaning of Easter too. Garrett, our youngest was up at 0639 this morning. I could hear his feet pounding on the floors. Boom, boom, boom over and over. He didn't come in. But then at 0650 he did saying he'd found his basket! That profound excitement and light in his little voice. I made Jeff get up, saying get up, get up, enjoy this moment while you can! Then his brother got up, Justin who is 8. They had a lot of fun and yes they were 'spoiled' by that 6 foot bunny! Then we went to church at 10:30 and what a beautiful sermon. Then off to Lowe's (the home and garden center). I bought some flowers to plant and Jeff bought some lights for our entertainment center and his motorcycle (haha). Then off to brunch we went! It was a great thing. But then I felt so guilty for two reason. First it was just a food gluttony fest...and then I kept thinking of all the waste and people who weren't getting anything...Crazy but true.




But all in all we had a beautiful day and were blessed. We didn't get to spend it with family being that we are military and are far away from either side. But we did have each other and This year Jeff was not in Iraq this year (YEAH) like last!!




Here are some photos of me and the boys dying eggs!!




HAPPY EASTER everyone!
