Easter Festivities

Our Easter weekend began with an awesome opportunity to worship our Savior. We took Madeline and went with some friends (The Myers) to see Chris Tomlin in concert. What an awesome time of music and worship. Madeline had a great time at her first concert.

Saturday was spend in preparations for Easter Sunday. Madeline got to help me make cupcakes.....
and she got to experience the BEST part of baking- the clean up!!

Next was Easter Egg coloring. Madeline was AMAZED when she saw the eggs changing colors. She had a great time coloring on the eggs before we dipped them. She made an egg for herself, Mommy, Daddy, Ginger and Jesus.

Easter morning began with checking out the Easter basket. Now most of you have probably heard that Madeline did not like the idea of Santa Clause coming into her house. The gifts were OK, but him coming into the house was not. We passed the Easter Bunny in the mall a couple of weeks ago, and he got the same response as Santa...she wanted no part of it.

So Easter morning when she saw her basket and we told her that the Easter Bunny brought it, we got this look...Chris reassured her that the Easter Bunny left the basket in the back yard and that Mommy went out to get it. The dollar store shovel and rake we a hit!!

Here is Madeline in her Easter dress. Check out the shoes..she is all about flip flops these days.


We hosted a cook out for our small group. Nothing better that burgers and 'dogs on the grill, kids running wild and an egg hunt.



On a side note, Madeline went to the doctor today for a follow up for her collar bone. The doctor said she seems to be healing perfectly. We have to go back in 3 weeks for x-rays, and she should be completely healed in 6 weeks. Praise God.
