Easter Celebrations

What a wonderful Easter weekend our family had! God is so very good to us in so many ways, not least of which is His merciful salvation to us through Jesus Christ our Lord! Hallelujah, what a Savior we serve! We kicked off our weekend with our lifegroup social at the Bailey barn on Saturday afternoon. All the kids enjoyed an egg hunt, playing with Mrs. Laura's 5-week old donkey, and running around in the warm sunshine. We all had a wonderful meal together, and afterwards, Mrs. Jennifer gathered all the kids to talk about the Resurrection of Jesus using the Resurrection Eggs. We are all so grateful that Jesus is alive indeed!!

When we got home that evening, after the boys got cleaned up, Jason and I gave them their Easter baskets. They love the Star Wars bobble heads they received, along with all the candy and other goodies. It's fun to "treat" your kids to some of their favorite things on special occasions!

Sunday morning, we woke up ready for a day of celebration and worship! Jason took some pixs of the boys in their new outfits....aren't they cute?!

Here they are give out over taking pictures....Typical.

Jason doesn't like it much when I match them up, but until they tell me they don't like it, I'm going to keep on! We enjoyed a great lunch with our friends Chad and Kristy Gay and their daughter Lainey. Then Sunday evening was our Easter Celebration service at church. It was packed!!! The worship time was so very sweet and such a blessing to my heart. I can't wait to get to heaven when we get to worship constantly, without worry of tiring, loosing our voices, or any other distractions, and most of all see my Jesus face to face!! I'm looking forward to going home, 'cause that's definitely where my heart is!

Well, the girls and I were at it again. At Girls Night a couple of weeks ago, we decided we all needed pedicures before Easter, so being the organizer that I am, I called and booked us pedis at one of the newer salons on this side of town!

We all kept laughing at the "massage" chairs, how they would squeeze our thighs together, then poke and prod us till we all decided to just turn them off. Ginger, Jenny, Ally, Amy and I picked out some great colors for our toesies. Poor Amy ended up with a spot on her foot from all the pumice rubbing, that she had to have a band-aid! Yikes! Ginger had to leave afterwards to meet up with Andy at the ball field, while the rest of us loaded up into Ally's van and headed to Bruster's for ice cream! Super yumm! Allyson and I chose the turtle cheesecake ice cream, while Amy and Jenny satisfied their chocolate cravings with chocolate with Hershey's Special Dark ice cream. Whoa, that was all some sweet yummy goodness! We always have the BEST times when we're together! I am so thankful for my best friends, for who they are, and how God uses each of them in my life! I love you girlies! Until next time.........
