Easter~

The week started off a little rough with Isla running a 103.5 degree fever.  I stayed home with her and snuggled a sleeping child for most of the day.

Alex encouraged me to take her to the doctor, so I relented.  They said they could find nothing visibly wrong with her, so they sent us home with the idea that it was viral.  Alex stayed home on Tuesday with her, and she woke up fever free.  Yippee!  He and Isla had a Daddy day, and they got all sorts of household chores accomplished!

We hit the weekend with the church Easter Celebration.  We had great attendance, and the kids had fun crafting, snacking, and hunting!

 We colored Easter eggs on Saturday night.  The weather was beautiful, and the kids had played outside a great deal of the afternoon.  Hence the haggard look;-)

Rowan got up early on Sunday (5:10 to be exact), so we were off and running with our own Easter egg hunt.  The Easter Bunny planted 20 eggs in our yard last night, but this morning after our hunt, the kids each had 19!  We think we have a secret neighbor Easter Bunny that plants eggs in the wee hours of the morning.  This is the third year we have awoken to a few extra eggs!

Oh, the anticipation!

We tried to take a selfie all dressed up, and this is what we ended up with!

Then a neighbor came bounding out of his house and across the street to help us out, and he took this!

We are so blessed by the community we live in, and the amazing support they provide!  

We were off to church to hear the great news of Jesus rising from the tomb.  The music was amazing, the atmosphere festive, and we had a relaxing day celebrating the one who gave his life for our sins.  

We ate Easter lunch with Alex's family and played outside until the children were each a dirty mess;-)  

Happy Easter!
