Resurrection Day

There are MANY perks to having my parents live an hour and twenty minutes away.  A small one is that we get to attend our church for Easter, but then spend the rest of the day with my family.  It was a beautiful day (well, somewhat overcast, but warm and NOT rainy)...perfect for celebrating Jesus' resurrection!

I didn't get any pictures before church.  Too much to do to get out the door by 9:15, including Easter baskets, baths (not something we normally do in the mornings), packing food and changes of clothes for Vancouver, and so on.

I made a rhyming scavenger hunt for the kids to find their baskets.  They LOVED it, and Cooper frequently asks for "clues."  :)

Our afternoon and evening in Vancouver were as fun as ever.  My mom had worked so hard, as usual, despite being very sick for a week and a half beforehand.  We enjoyed great food, fun with family and friends (Jeremy Nelson and family came, as well as Anna's brother and his girlfriend), and lots of time outside.  The only bummer was that our kids had been up late the night before and Judson didn't nap.  He was SO excited about everything that he was just a little hard to tolerate.  Poor guy.

Judson got a baseball glove in his Easter basket, so the dads and Judson and Logan played baseball for a VERY long time.  Logan was happy hitting and Judson was happy trying to catch.  Win - win!

Cooper and Macy played together most of the day and were so sweet.

Someone at church took this on her phone.

The cousins arranged oldest to youngest: 4,3,2,1, and 3 months.

Poor Rowland had hurt his nose...that's not a booger hanging out. :)

The eggs J and C helped me decorate.
