A Blessed Easter

We had a wonderful Easter weekend and hope all of you were able to spend time witht he ones you love and celebrate our risen Savior.

We started our Easter at Uncle Tom's. We celebrated his birthday and Easter at the same time. We were able to see his rabbits and his roosters. (Abby loved the "chicks!") Most importantly, we were able to spend a lot of fun time with Ethan, Aleigh, and Mathew. We plan to visit Uncle Tim and Aunt Debbie and TJ soon and can't wait.

After fun times in Jeff. Co., we headed to Bristol for a long overdue visit with Granny Stone. Abby was really excited about seeing "Ganny and Phil." We had so much fun playing. Abby wore us out running laps around the house.


Getting ready for bed at Granny's


Easter morning brought bunny ears and orange juice.
Thank you, Granny, for the ears... she wears them all
the time.



Then, Easter treats. She loved the jelly beans
she found in her eggs!


Once dressed, she was itching to get out in the sun.
(It was still pretty chilly, but the sun was a welcome
Easter surprise!)


Here, she patiently waits for all of us to get
ready to pick flowers.



And she and Granny set off to get
a grand Easter bouquet.


Granny taught us how to spot a
blue ribbon worthy daffodil.


Abby thought purple would be a nice addition to the collection.



Abby was very gentle when
carrying the flowers around.



Here is a view of the finished project.


When Mimi and Gramps got there, the games really began.
Here, Abby is getting some help eating eggs.


She and Gramps played all day. Here she is letting Gramps
gets some rest before Abby made him walk
around the yard for hours.


Whew... the weekend was great, but
someone really needed a nap after all
the visiting.

We are so blessed with wonderful friends and family. Though we have had a really rough year (especially the last 8 months), it hard not to feel overwhelmed with love and blessings when we think of the beautiful family God has made us into and the awesome support of our family and friends.

Coming Soon: New friends and Birthday Bashes!!
