Happy Easter...He is Risen!

Cousin Colby, Mason and Corben spending Easter together 

Our Family of Four 

Colby and Corben 

Jeff, Heather, and Colby 

The kids getting ready for the EGG Hunt 

Colby found one! 

Corben found one too! 

The boys filled their baskets... 

Mason did pretty good too 

Big smiles and lots of eggs! 

Coloring wood crosses that said Jesus. 

Colby and Corben were both really into the coloring with markers. 

Heather made cupcakes and the boys decorated them with bunny cut-outs that Meme gave! 

I made Resurrection Rolls...

there are hollow inside like Jesus' tomb

(pretty cool recipe, a dinner roll with a marshmellow in the middle, rises and then cooks and when you cut them open the insides are empty like the tomb!) 

We had a wonderful church service this morning and a wonderful day spent with Heather and her family.  So thankful and blessed on so many levels!

Dying Easter Eggs

I am trying to take as many pictures as I can...however, Caleb is at work and I am managing both the kids, the dye, the black sticker trick we are trying and the camera...haha...what fun! 

Sweet smiles, ready to help! 

Corben putting another egg into the dye 

Mason holding the egg with her name on it!  Cheese! 

Oh how she loves her big brother!

Corben still putting the cheese face on and Mason is now holding her egg securly, not sure if I am going to be able to get that egg back from her  (what a great football hold...huh Pop?)

Final product

Black electric tape squares on and off with two different colors

(turned out okay, but not really like MarthaStewart.com....oh well). 

Happy Easter to all!
