Easter Fun 2013

Happy Easter my blogger friends!

We had such a great few days leading up to Easter I thought I would share everything going on!

Thursday was Avery's school Easter party.  It was geared around the resurrection & I was in charge of the craft so we made palm leaves with each child's hands.  Then I read a story about the resurrection of Christ & each child enjoyed waving their palm leaf through the story! 

My friend made some awesome "peep looking" cookies!  The kids really enjoyed them!

We also enjoyed Easter at my parents this past week! She still gets us an Easter goody it is so fun!  She always is so festive, (where I get it from), & bakes the most wonderful goodies!

I finally found time to get a few pictures of my fun Easter pretties around the house!  Enjoy!

This week I also had a girls night with some friends!  Do any of you watch Good Morning America?  My sweet gal pal here was on there 2 weeks ago with Fergie!  Can you believe it?  

Here she is on the show doing a make-up thing!  So beautiful!

I got my nails Easter ready this week!

We made cookies several days per Avery's request!

Good Friday was a huge celebration at our church leading up to Easter Weekend.  We enjoyed listening to the NWA symphony & hearing about Good Friday, so amazing!!!  

I caught this on my phone driving into our church.

Saturday was Mom's birthday!  We also had our Easter that night at our church with my family!  We enjoyed church & then dinner & cake celebration for Mom's 56th Birthday!  I have another post I am doing that is all about my sweet Momma!  

I am so blessed by my sweet niece & I call Ella Kate here my niece.  It's my sister in law's sisters little girl.  These kids just melt our hearts! 

Of course I had to get them a little sweet basket!

Saturday night the Easter Bunny came!

I made her get completely ready for church with Chad's family before she could see her goody!  She was so surprised and forgot that he came to see her! 

Easter Sunday with Chad's family!

Avery & cousin Stella loved the doves being released after the service!

After church we took a few pictures at a local garden.  I didn't have my camera so the quality isn't the best! Of course I forgot that on Easter Sunday!  

Ready to hunt Easter eggs with cousins!

 

I praise Jesus- He has risen!  I am so thankful for his amazing grace & gift of this life....
