He is Risen.

We never miss out on a family photo op.

(Thanks Ksavera for taking this for us.)

 Easter Sunday was PERFECT.  I don't use that word often... and especially not with two little ones running around... but it really was.  The morning started with service at our new church, which was so much fun, and made me so happy.  Then afterwards, mine and Ashley's family all gathered in our home for Easter dinner. 

Easter has always been a special holiday for my family. My mom would prepare a huge and totally delicious ham and entire feast to compliment it... and well, I took over the holiday a few years ago.  So now I am the one preparing a ham and luckily everyone I invite brings a side dish making the occasion super easy and enjoyable and also allows a little extra time to set my table... which if I don't say so myself looked amazing!

We also had a fun Easter egg hunt for the little ones.

(It stopped raining for a few minutes so we could hunt).

Johnny rode his bike over and my kids couldn't get enough of it... Ashton drug my Uncle John out in the rain numerous times just to have him sit on it.

The day really was perfect!
