Happy Easter!

Easter has arrived....rainy and a bit chilly but it's still springtime in Indiana and a very happy Easter! We started our Saturday with Katie's 2nd soccer game and this time, the rain held out until afterwards and the weather was warmer (almost 60!) so she LOVED it! She was a mess of mud when the game was over but she played the whole game and "Coach Daddy" was very proud of her! After the game, we headed to Mt. Auburn Church, where Allie attended preschool years ago, to go to their annual Easter Egg Hunt and Carnival. They always do a great job for this event and the girls love it. I spent the rest of Saturday running errands while the kiddos and Daddy enjoyed some time hanging out at home. Sunday, we started our day with Easter baskets for the girlies (they each asked for a book this year, LOVE THAT!) and then had our Easter pancakes, eggs and bacon breakfast before heading off to church for the mornin! We helped with the greeting this morning at church so we had to get there a bit early and for the Massey family to not be late, let alone early....that is an Easter miracle in and of itself! : ) But we did it and had a wonderful morning. Church service was amazing.....awesome music and a great message. Reminded me again how blessed we are to be a part of such a wonderful church family. After service, it was off to Grandma and Papa's house to have Easter lunch with the family. We enjoyed Grandma's wonderful food (ham, potatoes, beans, rolls, corn, coleslaw, cake, etc...YUMMY!) and then improvised due to the wet weather and had the annual egg hunt inside. Papa always gets a TON of candy for the eggs and this year, there were 101 eggs hidden all together....holy moly! The kids always have such a good time with their cousins on Easter. Then we stayed the day there to hang out and enjoy some family time before heading home. We are all a bit tired tonight but what a wonderful weekend we had celebrating Jesus' resurrection......Katie (who just turned 3) seemed to get it a bit more this year when she came running out of her Sunday School class this morning, smiling from ear to ear and yelling at the top of her lungs..."Mommy, Jesus is ALIVE!".....yep, that is good news sweetie! : )
