He is Risen!

Happy Easter, everyone! What a joyous day!

It's AJ just stopping in to share some pictures with our Blog Peeps.



And by some pictures I mean many more pictures than you'd ever want to see.

On Saturday my cousin Joe, who's in school to be a fireman, was in town participating in a fundraiser with a local fire department.
Cousin + access to a fire truck + three-year-old boy = no brainer.
We rolled out of bed and headed that way. In fact, Annabeth was still in her pajamas.







I got some fun stuff for my kids from the Target dollar section. Jackson was thrilled that Annabeth "wanted to share" all her goodies.



Those Cadbury mini-eggs were calling my name late last night and - gasp! - I opened them. My excuse is that I've been sick and that's all that sounded good. They were delish.





After attending a wonderful worship service at our church, we went to Mom and Dad's house for lunch. We were joined by my grandparents, my cousin Joe, and our friends Roger, Lynn, and Michelle. Mom was the hostess with the mostest. We were only missing Melissa and Colin and boy did we miss them!







You never know what will entertain a child. Here Jackson was rolling pieces of Trix cereal down his race car ramp.







It rained and stormed all morning, but then the sun came out and we had a beautiful day. We were excited to have the chance to do the Easter egg hunt outside.

Here's the Easter Bibby hiding eggs.









All done!



Lynn was helping Jackson go through his Easter eggs when his sugar high kicked in. I now present a photographic series called "Progression of a Mess." Please hear my child laughing, squealing, and yelling "Surprise!"













To top off an already great day, Curt's mom just called and said our young nephew, Gavin, prayed to receive Christ last night. Praise the Lord!

I hope all of you had a wonderful weekend celebrating Christ our King. He is risen indeed!
