Our Easter 2011

Good Friday


Our Easter celebration started on Friday evening with our small group.

We got together to eat dinner, have an egg hunt, and share the Easter story with the kids.


Henry did not get the memo that it wasn't a swimming party and climbed into their super duper kiddie pool... luckily our hosts, the Hannons, have boys the same size as Henry with clothes he could borrow.



"Back away from my cookie."





The only pic where everyone is seen. I love James- far right :)




Henry and Margaret Gray aren't the best hunters. They both find an egg, spend about 1 min trying to open the egg, eat all that is in the egg, then go to find another... all while everyone else is filling their baskets.





Fun evening!






Easter Day


I had to include this pic.




Getting ready to look their Easter best




The best I could get of them in there Easter outfits



Ready for church




We saved Easter baskets until after church.

Tom had worked the night before and walked in the door at 8:30 that morning... we didn't have much time to spare.



Margaret was truly excited about her new soap.



Modeling what you do with a bath poof






After lunch and naps, we went over to the Woods for Easter dinner.


It was very nice to have it at that time- very relaxing.... kids were happy.

Ready for the hunt



















The Woods have an "adopted" cat, Kitty Kitty. Margaret LOVES her.



Sweet pic with Uncle Brent



Bike rides with PawPaw. Safe.







And we ended the evening with swimming. Don't ask. I'm not sure what was happening. All I know is that I'm very thankful Margaret Gray will be getting swim lessons this summer. She is nuts about the water. Makes me a mommy I don't like being- crazy nervous!







We are thankful this Easter for the life that God has blessed us with. Even more, we praise Him for being the final sacrifice and raising from the dead, so that we may have eternal life with the Lord.

What an awesome post! First of all, Margaret it getting so big and I just LOVE seeing pictures of her, she sure was sporting many cute outfits that weekend,I love that pink bubble! And she looks darling in the dress you got from the shower, yay! Her hair is just awesome in general, whether it is bed head or not, and I loved Henry's green pants! : ) Oh, I am so bad, commenting on just the superficial stuff, but your kids are so stinkin cute, I have to!

LOVE all of the Easter outfits! MG has the cutest curly hair! Henry and Margaret look sooo much alike in the picture of them in their Easter outfits. I couldn't stop laughing at the picture of Paw Paw taking a bike ride with MG - so typical! Your hair looks great by the way :)
