Happy Easter

We had a wonderful Easter!!! We started off with a great service at church. Due to the large crowd and us quickly running out of room we had three services. After worship our minster only had about 20 minutes for the sermon. As he said at the beginning, some of the best stories are those that are brief. He was right! Easter is more than the resurrection, is about how God fixes all things that are broken. Jesus was broken, yet God brought him back to life three days later. The same is true for you and I, only God can fix us!

After church we headed over to Steve's parents for an awesome lunch, Easter baskets, and a recreation of Cooper's egg hunt in our front yard yesterday. He found out by accident on the first egg that it held Goldfish Crackers so each time he picked one up he opened and ate it. Let's hope he forgets next year since the eggs then will be filled with sugar. Oh and since when did Easter become like Christmas? Cooper got books, money, candy, toys.... we had to come home and go through all his old toys and bag up some of them for storage. After lunch it was time to come home where we all took a much needed nap. Did I mention he was up at 4:00 am standing in the crib asking for momma? I have no idea where it came from, he hasn't gotten up in the middle of the night since before tubes.

Anyway, here are some pics from the day, the first is last Easter, I just had to compare. He actually has almost the same exact look in these first two pictures. We told him we were going bye-bye to see Mamaw & Papaw at church, he must have wanted to hurry up and leave since he was trying to give Steve his shoes.

This kid knows what good candy is.

We couldn't leave Grandma's w/o kissing the duck.

And this is what we found about 2 miles from our house.
