Easter Sunday

What a very special day this was as we celebrated our Risen Savior! Jesus is Alive! In church today, we sang one of my very favorite songs, In Christ Alone. It was so powerful as everybody sang on the third verse, "Up from the grave He rose again!"

My mom made a gorgeous dress for Little for Easter, but it was hard to get a good picture of her in it because she is always on the move. I managed to snap a few shots before we left for church.She sure does love her sweet daddy. And I do, too!

You can see Mollie enjoyed the Easter eggs, too.

We tried to get a family shot after Sunday School.And here are some of my girlfriends looking beautiful on this special day.

Little and Aidan were having a good time waiting for us to leave for lunch.

This year, we had the pleasure of having some great friends over for Easter lunch at our house. Jon & Anne and Brian & Natasha came over for a huge lunch. Everybody brought something to contribute to what ended up being a huge meal, perfect for preparing us for a long nap to follow. Little actually ended up taking about a 2 1/2 hour nap, and the rest of us slept almost as long. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of everybody. I only managed to get this picture of Little cornering Aidan, which was a very accurate representation of the afternoon. She chased him all over the place. Poor Aidan.And for dinner, Momma J and Daddy J came over to visit Little and help us eat some of our many leftovers from all the festivities of the weekend. What a special day and a wonderful way to end the weekend! It has certainly been a busy few days, spending time with family and friends. We are truly blessed.
