"Dear God...Do you know your Son is alive?" - Caden

Happy Easter 2009! What a fantastic reason for a holiday!
We had a wonderful day...full of family, faith, food and fun!
We spent the day with Uncle Ronni, Aunt Lee, Jordan & Cannon. And we couldn't have asked for a better way to spend the holiday.
The Easter bunny SPOILED the kids this year!A little rough looking...but it was early, cut them some slack (although it was THEIR fault that it was early.) Notice the sun still TRYING to rise in the background? And does anyone have a clue why Caden is crooked?What is this stuff?What a rip-off...two new sippy cups in my basket, and not a single one has anything in it! Maybe I can get something good from Jordan!
After all of the excitement from the Easter Bunny, we got ready to head to Easter Service at church. If you know my kids...who for a while only thought church was in California, they were thrilled to be going to church. If only the churches in Fredericksburg were as friendly as the ones in Berryville, VA!
Me and the kids...Just Jacie - in her Easter dress!The cousins! This group picture has taken a lot of attempts over the past couple of years. FINALLY, Aunt Ronni has a picture to put into her 'Cousins' picture frame.The church did a big Easter egg hunt for the kids. Here is Cavin, stopping to smile for the camera.
"Mom, why did you bring the camera to church?" - Cavin
Aren't they sweet? Caden isn't really that short. Jordan is actually a couple years older than him.
"I'll never catch up to Jordan" - Caden
"They have so much grass where they live. I'll never find any eggs" - Cavin
Then of course, after church, there was yet another Easter egg hunt back at the house.
Ready...Set...Go!
Who put an egg on a tricycle?!Found another one!
And of course, what's better on a day with family...than wrestling with the big cousins?! Brandon and Christopher were both there for the holiday, and Caden and Cavin had a great time with them.
Poor Christopher doesn't have a chance!The boys...Cavin, Brandon, Caden, Christopher, and Cannon...no, Christopher doesn't always look like that. I think that was his way of telling me to get the camera out of his face.Ronni and Chris grew up together, and never imagined that between the two of them, they would have 8 kids! Here are Ronni's four...
Brandon, Christopher, Jordan and Cannon
THANK YOU SO MUCH Ronni and Lee for letting us come and spend the Easter Holiday with you!

The picture of you and the kids came out great! And the one of the cousins!! I wish I could get my kids to take a picture that nice, not to mention with their cousins! Jacie looks adorable in her dress, what an experience for her, eh? Glad the boys like going to church and had some fun with the egg hunts!!
