Easter Sunday 2012

On Easter Sunday we woke up to a stuffed Easter basket surprise for Kaden.  He was so excited with everything in his basket!  Especially the candy.  He has been on a sugar high for three days, and today is the first day I hid all the candy and we have had none.  Both of us!  Ha!

We went to church as a family, then headed to the Mabe family Easter party.  Egg Hunt #3 for Kaden!

This is Kaden’s baby cousin, Jylien, whom he absolutely adores.  He is so gentle and good with her.  I know he is going to be so sweet with his own baby sister.  He loves baby Jylien!

My egg hunting CHAMPION!!!

This is Kaden playing an animal sounds game on his cousin Chandler’s ipod.  He loves this!

I think that’s a wrap on Easter, at last! We still haven’t gotten a bluebonnet picture made this year.  I have to do that tomorrow with Kaden, or I know I won’t get one.  And, I have one each year with him so far.  Don’t want to miss that this year!

Easter 2012 Continued…

On Good Friday I attended a special service that evening all by myself.  It was really good and only about six other ladies in my church showed up, so it was good that I went alone.  After the service we watched The Passion of The Christ movie.  I am so glad I watched the movie again, I had seen it several years ago when it first came out in the theatre.  I had forgotten how powerful and violent and emotional the movie is.  It is definitely rated R for a reason.  I would not recommend that any children or youth see it.  It is definitely a movie for people who have a firm understanding of Jesus, his life, his death, his resurrection, and the Bible in general.  It is very POWERFUL and wonderfully made, but I would caution young people until they are fully comfortable in their beliefs and knowledge of Christ.  It was very neat to watch the movie of Jesus’s Crucifixion and then celebrate Sunday morning his Resurrection. 

On Saturday for lunch we went to my Uncle Freddie and Aunt Linda’s house for the Fisher family Easter.  Kaden’s second egg hunt.  Lots of cousins to play with!  Kaden had a great time!

And, he hunted eggs like a pro!

This is Kaden with some of the extended cousins.

My brother, Jamie and his daughter, my pretty niece, Emily.

Chloe Mae!  I love this girl!!!

My first cousin Tammy’s little boy, Michael.  He is taking guitar lessons and played some tunes for us.  He is really good.  Kaden was dancing to it!  And Kaden requested that he play some rock n roll!  Ha! 

This is Michael’s sister, Hailee Brooke, isn’t she gorgeous?  She graduates high school this year.  So hard for me to believe.  She was the first great grand baby for my Granny and Papa, and I remember being at the hospital when she was born.  I was 13!  I would tote Hailee bug around when she was a baby.  I adore her.  She has turned into a beautiful young lady inside and out who makes great choices and loves the Lord. 

Just for fun!  Lance and I, 25 Weeks Pregnant with Baby girl on Easter weekend.

I Love this man!

That was through Saturday.  Easter Sunday still to come!

Hayden’s Easter Party 2012

Kaden has got the egg hunting thing down now, finally, at three years old!  Plus he got to hunt eggs three times this year.  Our Easter week began with a Easter Party Egg hunt/ play date at our friend Hayden’s house.  Megan did a good post about that party you can read about HERE. 

Megan always has the best FOOD at her parties and the best friends for us Momma’s to socialize with, and we all have kids the same ages to play with each other.  What will we do when they grow up and don’t want to play anymore?  So sad to think about!!!  And so hard to imagine all our babies growing up. 

Kaden on the look out for others coming for his eggs!!! 

Hayden got it down good this year too!

My silly boy!

Look at that stack of eggs!!!  He did have Easter grass in his basket half way though.  I learned not to do that again for the other 2 parties because he couldn’t get many eggs in his basket.What a good little hunter!

I am so thankful Kaden and I got to attend this party this year, we have been invited in the past, but I am always working when the party happens, this year we finally got to go!

All the little egg hunters minus two babies.

Thanks for a fun day out for us Megan!  We needed it!
