Christ is Risen!

We had a wonderful time celebrating the resurrection of our Savior on Sunday. It was a beautiful day and we had lots of fun people to share it with.

Adam and Daddy chillin' before church.
Here's The Girl all ready to go in her Easter dress.

After church, I wanted to get some pictures of the kids by the tulips. Adam was very interested in the flowers. Look at how handsome he was in his little outfit!

Cheese! Look, a flower!

Ok, this was my best attempt to get a photo of the kids together. In retrospect, I should have 1) waited until Clara was awake so she could hold her head up. 2) Laid Clara in a basket and taken the shot from above with Adam looking up at the camera. Oh well, you live and learn.

After nap time it was off to the Coopers' for some fun with friends. We are so thankful for the Coopers - our families get along so well and we are blessed to have them for friends. Brett and Wisty cooked up a wonderful meal for everyone.
Brett was pretty serious about the grilling.

Look at all the cuteness here!

We actually didn't do Easter baskets until the next day. The kids didn't seem to mind. See the Cadbury egg in Adam's basket? Yeah, he DIDN'T LIKE IT!!! Is he even my child???

As soon as Adam saw the train stuff in his basket he got so excited. He loves his new Emily engine to add to his track downstairs.

Checking out his new book about Thomas and Friends.

We did a little egg hunt in the yard, and just like last year Adam was more interested in running around the yard than picking up eggs. Oh well.

Phil tries to get the point across.

He did stop running long enough to say cheese.

Check out the egg in his pocket.

Ok, it totally looks like he's doing it in this picture, but he's actually just reaching in the bucket to pick out some of the mini chocolate chip cookies that I had put in the eggs.
