Easter

Easter morning kind of feels like a lifetime ago but the joy still feels tangible and the sound of He is Risen still rings in my ears so I think a little documentation might be in order.  

All the kids bring balloons in from their classes at church and it is sheer beautiful chaos.  

Family self take.

Ian's going through a bit of a photo phase.

And another one.

It was a beautiful day for an egg hunt.

I don't even want to think about how much candy he ate.

We did not make it easy on the bigs.  They have to work for their chocolate.

With 16 of our lovies over for lunch it was a full house.  But it's the only official holiday I host and I love pulling out my china and having all of us sit around the table and sing the doxology before we eat. I look forward to it all year.

Look who found the golden egg!

I wish I had a pic of all of us sitting around the table but we were just having too much fun to stop for pictures.  Within half an hour of finishing lunch half the posse was asleep in the living room.  I'm going to go ahead and blame it on the cheesecake.  You know its a good day when the sun shines, every door opens with "He is risen indeed!", your house fills with the sounds of five littles getting into mischief, and you put half your guests into a food coma.
