Happy Easter!

Happy (belated) Easter! We had a wonderful weekend spending time with family and celebrating Christ's resurrection. We ate, played, ate, talked and ate a little more. We worked on Friday morning and then headed to my parents house to see everyone and go to the Good Friday service. Saturday was spent at Alex's grandparents house, doing nothing less than eating and talking. Sunday we celebrated Easter and then had to come back to reality and get ready for the week to start. We are so blessed and thankful to have such a wonderful family and to get to see them often.

Happy Easter!!

My sister and I have the same pictures, so if you've looked at her blog, these may seem familiar.

what a Good Friday

Happy Easter Weekend!! This weekend is such an important weekend that we shouldn't overlook or diminish with jelly beans and bunnies. Yes, I am definitely looking forward to gorging myself on jelly beans, and spending time with family. But, this weekend has so much more significance! 

God sent his Son to be brutally beaten and hung on a cross to save us from our sins. Jesus died and rose again to save us from our sins and to save us from having to bear the cross as he did. He did this because He loves us more than we can even fathom.

Happy Easter, He is Risen!!!

Weekend Shenanigans

We had a great weekend! I started my weekend on Friday. My good friend Kassie asked Alex and I to watch her girls whenever she and Clint went to the hospital to have their third baby, a little boy. Friday was the day! So, while Kaitlyn, Mallory and I watched Frozen and played outside, Kassie was superwoman and brought Benjamin Samuel into the world. He is an adorable little boy and both mama and baby are doing well. We are so honored that we got to spend time with the girls and then meet baby Ben at the hospital.

Unfortunately the Mapel's are Cubs fans...but nevertheless we'll still love Benjamin :)

This weekend was also our first Cardinals game of the season and it was a great game! We went with our friends Brian and Melinda. We had a great time and enjoyed watching the Cubs lose and the Cards win! We walked through ballpark village and then headed over to Pappy's for dinner. It was absolutely fantastic and I think everyone needs have some of their BBQ. It was such a nice day and we are so grateful to have such awesome friends!

Check that nice v-neck I'm rockin'-I now have a lovely sunburn in a 'v' shape.

You'd think that after 24 years of being fair skinned I would learn to wear sunscreen...

Sunday was our day of rest and it was much needed! Now we're back to work and gearing up for a busy week. I'm looking forward to this weekend and spending time with family and celebrating Easter.
