A Bunny came to visit

Well, it's Easter Sunday. The day that we should celebrate the ultimate sacrifice that Christ paid for us, and sometimes we get wrapped up in the Easter bunny, pretty dresses, making it to church and family functions. Hopefully we all found sometime to be thankful and reflect today, because THANK GOD that Christ died on that cross and He paid the price for us. hmmmm, it makes me feel peaceful just thinking about it.

About our Easter Sunday. The kids got a bunch of candy & bubbles, kites, toys, etc. I'll just show you pics because I don't even want to have to try and remember it all. Braden ate enough chocolate today to be in a chocolate coma, luckily that wasn't the case though. We did NOT go to church today. I know that sounds bad, but you know how there are those Christians that only go to church on Easter...I'm the opposite. I WANT to go, but I just can't handle the huge, huge crowds. Especially at our church! First Baptist Gardendale has a gazillion people on any given Sunday, but on Easter I think the entire population of central Alabama descends on this church. Anyway, so we went to my Aunt Patsy's house in Springville. My aunt's Patsy, Rita & Kim are sort of the Three Musketeers of aunts. They are always together. I love them dearly, and they are so much fun to be around. We ate and let the kids search for Easter eggs. It was Braden, Kendall, Brooklyn & Autumn. Brooklyn cracks me up, because she is such a Swafford girl. A few of the plastic eggs had a little bit of money in them and she was going around shaking eggs and if they had money she'd grab them, otherwise they got thrown back down. HAHA! Brady didn't care, he was more excited about the candy in some of the others. Lets hope that lasts. Kendall got the big prize. She found $5 in one of her eggs! They never did this stuff when we were kids!!

Well, next week is Ken's spring break so Josh and I will be taking off work Thursday & Friday. Our plans are to go camping. Lord help us. I'm just enough of a city girl that I like a fluffy mattress and central heat & air (see one of my original posts; on Thanksgiving I was thankful for said items). Yeah, well, Josh wanted to camp two nights. I don't see that happening. There will be more to come on this I'm sure. In the meantime, pray for rain on Friday night so that I don't get talked into a 2nd night!!
