easter

we got home pretty late last night and i was exhausted, but there was lots to do for easter (personally and for church) before i could get into bed. and then i got up early and made some 'easter egg' pancakes. because i am crazy. and tired.

after a super busy morning at church i realized that we had not taken a picture of the whole family. since we were in the car, i got at least one of us dressed up.

the kids were all changed before i even got into the house. they were ready for baskets and an egg hunt! i had wanted to do a scavenger hunt again this year, but it was just too much last night. the kids didn't mind at all. the baskets were candy free since we don't let them eat it anyway. battery-operated toothbrushes were the biggest hit.

maddux has been asking for an umbrella for a very long time and was super excited!

and then i could finally exhale and start the process of unpacking. happy easter! the greatest joy of redemption. love.
