easter...

it's so cliche...but still, so very true: holidays are much more fun with kids. if it weren't for the kiddos, we probably would have just gone about our day like any normal sunday: church, lunch with family, relax, then bed. but, when you've got little ones to entertain, there's an added dimension of fun thrown in...

 the kiddos all ready for church...we ended up going to the saturday evening service. it was a little different not going on the actual day, but it was nice to be able to have a relaxed sunday morning.

 the kids baskets, ready and waiting. i made them hide under the covers while i got the baskets set up; elijah kept peeking though...

lucy was taking too long (according to elijah)...so he helped her out...

 everybody's happy and lucy won't let go of her puffs...

and now, it's time for the egg hunt!!

lucy totally got into it, with a little help from her auntie...while elijah cruised around the yard at an alarming rate of speed, collecting as many eggs as he possibly could...

and there's nothing like a little easter jello to top off a good day...
