A Very Blessed Easter

HAPPY EASTER
God, thank You for blessing me with everything I need to be successful in this life. Your word is truth and life to my soul. Help me keep my mind stayed on You as I meditate on Your goodness. In Jesus’ Name. Amen

We had a very nice day. First we started with some yummy donuts. We went to mass and we usually don't take Sophie to mass because she's not ready yet. But, we decided to take her since it was Easter and we wanted to go as a family. Well, she really confirmed why we don't take her yet. But, she made friends with everyone sitting around us and managed to fall off the bench a few times and checked out the lady's jewelry sitting next to us. But other than that, it was nice. Then we went home and made a delicious breakfast. We all decided we should take a nap. Sophie & Deon had no problem...Jake on the other hand, refused. So, he and I hung out until it was time to go to Pa & Coco's. Coco made a special Easter dinner for us. The kids looked for eggs and we finished the day off with cupcakes. What more could we ask for...
Sophie didn't quite get it yet...the concept of coloring eggs. But, Jake did...he took it very serious.


Sophie would drop the eggs in the dye...even after I would say, "gently". And when she'd take them out, I would tell her, "DON'T squeeze them", and she did. So, all the eggs she did were completely cracked. But, she had fun! We all did actually.

Jake decided it was easier to grab the eggs with his hand instead of that little tool they give you or a spoon...so he had really green hands...he thought that was cool.

The Easter Bunny made a stop at our house...they were so excited.

Here's my little girl, all dolled up. This was her 3rd outfit of the day


Pa & Jake...matching shirts.

Jake had no problem finding the eggs.

My precious babies

Sophie was more interested in the easter basket grass than the other stuff...oh, she did find a piece of gum...that she chewed for a few minutes before swallowing.

Sophie thought she was hiding back there, like no one could see her. And, Jake...he's pretending too.
GOD BLESS ALL OF OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A BLESSED EASTER.
