Jesus is ALIVE!!!!

Its Easter!!!! He is RISEN! Its my favorite Holiday... just such a reminder of what Jesus did for you! Its so humbling! And I just love going to church on Easter. Its always full & the energy is just flowing with excitement.



I made Ricky take a picture for Easter... can you see his reaction? Yeah - that's eye rolling going on right there! And then he's worse than a kid - he took his tie off because he felt like he was choking & just put on a sports jacket instead... Men - what can you do?


I was totally blessed though because my nieces got to come to church today! We didnt have youth today so they could enjoy time with their family so I got to be with the 4 &5 yr old kiddos... Too much fun!!! Look at my little Princesses... (& yeah, Madi's head is down - I have to SNEAK to get pictures of this girl) Sophia - she loves a camera!



Then my brother & Sis in law had an awesome lunch for the family & it was so nice to be able to get together... it feels like its been forever! I got to see Trinity too - my other "niece" - I love this child! She's growing up so fast! She took me to her room at her house & posters of Zack Efron are everywhere! I remember her being 2 yrs old... & now she has pictures with LOVE written across his face! How adorable is that....


Then the Easter egg hunt was on! I kept threatening them by saying I was going to push them out of the way & win all the eggs. I was a good sport though - I let them go for it hunt without me! I was on a mission to get a picture of Madi! Here's the best I got....

I promise she has eyes.... I was able to get this picture to prove it! She was having a camera-shy day!


And finally - I have to show you what the girls learned at church today!!!! It just made me smile because they were saying it all day!




This picture - its my favorite of the day because you can see Sophia on top of the house... she is screaming ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's the reminder of the day.... fun, laughter, hope... all because Jesus is ALIVE!!!!

Hope you've all had a Blessed Wonderful Easter!
