Easter Morning

I woke up around 6:45 and listened to the silence in our home. But, knew soon enough the kids would be up excited and ready to see what the bunny brought. Well, it happened...at 7:15 Madison ran in the room and said, "Mommy get up let's see what the bunny brought." After she came in I heard Joshua in his room making some noise. I think Madison might have woke him up because she was SOOO excited running back to our room. But, really can you blame her!!!!! We headed into the den to see what goodies were left for the kids.

Kortney, received candy and a hair straightener from the bunny!!!!


Madison of course received candy and a My e.pets. It's like a webkinz but, a little different. I'm actually glad that she asked for that...we have a TON of webkinz. She saw her My e.pets and said, "Mommy this is the one I wanted. How in the world did the bunny know that?" Oh, the innocence of a child. Don't you wish we as adults could live like that???

As you can see Joshua was all into his basket. He received a little bit of candy from the bunny and a basketball w/hoop tub set.

We missed having Hannah here with us this year. Michael was working so, she was with her mother. I will post some pics of her later with her bunny surprises. I can't wait to see her this weekend!!!!!! We LOVE you Hannah and miss you bunches!!!!

After the kids checked out there baskets the girls got the cookies out of the oven. I was wanting them to wait about the bunny and do this 1st but the "Little's" just couldn't. We each had a cookie and noticed that yes, indeed it was hollow. We talked about how the cookies were empty inside as was the tomb when Mary and Martha came back. The reason is because Jesus AROSE as he promised. PRAISE GOD for this!!!!!! We then followed up with scripture.

Generally, by now this is the time that we would be rushing around to get ready for church. Since, Joshua was sick with the flu we had to stay home this year. Michael was at work so, he couldn't take the kids to church either. However, later on that morning grandma and papaw called to check on Joshua and asked to see if the girls wanted to go to church with them. Kortney was a definite YES. Madison on the other hand is a HUGE mama's girls and opted to stay with me and brother.

I hope that each and everyone of you had a great Easter at home with your family and that you were truly blessed on this WONDERFUL holy day.
