Christ the Lord is Risen Today! Alleluia! Easter 2013

We had a wonderful Easter!  I really needed a day to take my mind off everything else and focus on my faith, family, and friends!  The weather was a little dreary so we didn't have as many photo opportunies as I'd like, but I still tried! 

 

This year, GA was terrified of the Easter bunny and did not want him coming inside our house!  After a lot of worry, we decided to just write him a note and leave our baskets outside to be filled!

 After emptying baskets, the girls hunted eggs the bunny had hidden in the yard.  Will videoed, but I didn't get that many pictures!  It was barely daylight outside!

 

 

I snapped this when we were at church and I realized I didn't take any pictures before we left home!  We were too rushed trying to get to church on time!

At this point, GA is much better at cooperating for pictures.  Last year, Lizzie was better!  Too bad they can't cooperate at the same time!

It was a fun day! Easter will always be my FAVORITE day!  Nothing is better than the music in my church on Easter morning!

Easter Egg Hunts 2013

I feel like every blog post I write lately I say how busy things have been!  Honestly, the last 7 months have been the most stressful in my life!  It is hard to find a balance with working and taking care of two little ones - especially when you are a perfectionist!  I just don't have enough hours in the day!  But the last three weeks have truly been CRAZY!   And the next few week are probably going to be even crazier!  There is a possibility that the next time I write it will be from our new home!  Keeping our fingers crossed! 

 

Anyway, all that to say that instead of 5 or 6 posts about Easter this year, I will just have two!  We did have a wonderful time celebrating the Risen King!

 

Here are the pictures from our church egg hunt (which was moved inside due to weather) and the HCC egg hunt!

Once Lizzie figured out there was candy, she was done hunting.  Just let me eat!

Jellybeans!

We always have moments like this (just keeping it real!)

GA really loves egg hunts!  So much fun!  Lizzie just loves the candy!

 

Flight Museum and New Soccer Season

I'm the worst blogger lately!  Don't worry, summer will be here in a few months and I'll be back to taking WAY too many pictures! But for now, here are a few from a really cute birthday party at the Southern Museum of Flight  and a few from our first soccer game of the new season.  I promise I have taken pictures of Lizzie too, but they are all on my phone and I'm too tired to get them off tonight! I'll do an update post on her soon.  She didn't make the party, because it was during nap!

the party setup was adorable!

Graham and his cute cake!

Our team played awesome in their first game.  Our coach is fabulous  (and pretty cute too ;-) !

Good game!  Even though they don't keep score, I know we won!  GA scored two goals and every child on the team scored at least one goal!  GA has improved so much since she started in the fall!
