Happy Easter 2011

Look what the Easter Bunny brought!

One little bunny wide awake!

One little boy....not so much.

Mmmmm.....chocolate!

Eyes are open at the sound of chocolate being shaken in it's box.

Not sure what that look is for!

A family picture where almost everyone is cooperating!

A second try.

Now they are just too cute!

We love the smiles Norah has showered on us lately, but still trying to figure out Justin's expressions.

Our favorite!

Let's not forget one of us!

The chaos of trying to talk Norah and Justin into just one more picture!

But worth the effort....

One more, just in case....

Justin tickling daddy!

Justin trying to tickle Mommy who's trying to take a picture, while Uncle Russell is most likely rethinking his offer to hold him.

Norah dancing as she talks to Uncle Phillip.

Norah has gotten to that stage where she will pose for pictures! We LOVE it and hope it continues for years to come.

Following the pain, worry and anxiety caused by Norah's hospitalization, this Easter we were extremely aware of God's blessings.

We woke up bright and early and let the kids explore their Easter baskets before getting everyone ready for Church. The service was beautiful and was yet another reminder to us that there is always hope. After church we took some pictures with Uncles Phillip, Russell and Patrick, then headed home. As soon as we got home the kids started going through their Easter baskets while Jeff and I worked to finish getting the house and meal ready for the arrival of family and friends.

Uncles Phillip, Russell and Patrick, along with our friends Dominika and Steve and their children arrived to join us as we celebrated this special holiday. The kids had a blast playing together while the adults spent several hours visiting. It was an incredible day and we were blessed to be able to celebrate it with family and friends.
