Easter Sunday

 

 

Hallelujah! He is Risen

Each year we get together with my husband’s family to celebrate Easter.

This year we offered to host the part at our house.

After spending lots of time preparing, the big day finally came.  The tables were set.

The eggs were dyed.

The weather was picture perfect, and we were ready for all our guests to arrive.

So while we waited…  I decided to take a few shots of how beautiful the outside of our home looked after my husband and sons had worked so hard.

My son Justin came to spend some time with us, and we made some great memories.

Then the girls finally arrived and they were so excited to get their baskets full of goodies.

But Cole was especially thrilled to get his basket this year!

Then it was time to start having fun!

And no Easter gathering would be complete without an Easter Egg hunt!

After dinner the guys got up a big game of baseball!

Cole was more interested in playing golf with the set of clubs he got from his Aunt Cheryl.

The girls all played a game of Soccer after the baseball game ended.

I was thrilled to finally get a shot of all my sons together!  Wow…what happened to those 5 little boys?

Then we ended the day by celebrating Grace, Kayla and Katie’s birthdays as Karli looked on. You might notice the tear in Coles eye, because he wanted it to be his birthday too. (oh my…those tears melt a Grammy’s heart!)

 

We are so grateful for all these special memories, and hope you all had a blessed Easter as well.
