title: easter...because i can't come up with anything creative


so i really love easter...in fact, more than christmas...or any other holiday for that matter. obviously as a christian, it should be the most important thing we celebrate. plus, there's not as much commercialism surrounding easter as there is with christmas. it's just easier to stay focused on the cross and most importantly, the resurrection. not to mention easter usually means spring...and the end of winter is bound to make me thrilled to death.

okay and the candy...i love the easter candy. i've been eating jelly beans ever since...

i love the three day weekend...and even love sunrise service. i love the family time. this year was especially good for some reason. i think i was just craving time with some of my family that i hardly ever see. here are a few shots from our easter...

so maybe not the best shot of them all, but these kids are just the greatest! we were missing three of the grandchildren which was sad, but also helped with the noise level and chaotic-ness. :)

finn is something else...he refused to change out of his church clothes so was running around all day in his blazer and tie. he's seriously such a stud!

i love this picture of kev and his youngest son...little 3 year old taye is already riding the bike his 6 year old brother just got done with...he's one driven kid!

belv, this one's for you...

it was fun for me to have a couple college friends come over and spend easter with our family. one of them said it was "fun to see what the g*tw**ns are really like". i THINK that was supposed to be a positive statement. :)

totally agree about easter - for every reason you shared.

I told Ryan I officially decided this year that it's my favorite holiday. Plus having 3 little girls to dress up makes it kind of fun too (well, until one is sick and you have to keep two babies home easter sunday, but I'll spare you that saga : ) ).

happy friday!

looks like a great time with family. Was taye using training wheels on that bike?? If not...wow...way to go!!!
Finn sure is a cute kid....I think he doesn't look quite like the other two and maybe its his cute curly hair:) Easter is great...in my opinion far better than christmas because with christmas come stress!!! (cause we get so caught up in the giving of gifts)...or at least I do sometimes.
