Bright Easter

Like every year, we pulled out the Easter egg dyeing buckets!

Jon and I asked the kids this year if they were too old

to dye eggs and I'm not quite sure I've ever seen their faces look so funny!

I don't think we can ever give up any of our traditions!

Thank God!

Such talented egg decorators!

Never too old to hunt for eggs!

My precious family! Thank you God for blessing me!

Jackson's favorite egg!

Jackson couldn't forget to make his "TJ" egg for Thomas!
He loves and misses his friend so much,

but is starting to rejoice in his memories with him!

What a Joyous Celebration

My sister and her little family came for their annual trip to our house for Easter.

They have a new baby girl named Saylor!

She's always so precious in pink and of course her mommy always dresses her up in the best.

We spent the weekend enjoying the beautiful weather and playing in nature.

The bluebonnets this time of year is one of the best reasons to live in Texas.

We spent our Easter Sunday at my in-laws and just had a great day of playing.
My sister and her son, Tripp, enjoy an Easter cupcake in the shade.

Tripp really enjoyed the cupcake!

My three year old nephew, Lawson the "pro skateboarder", tried and tried to teach Tripp how to do it right, but for some reason, it just didn't work out right...

I wonder why?

For this Easter, I decided to make my son, Jackson, something special.

I made him a shadowbox with memories of his best friend Thomas who passed away in February. I wasn't sure what his reaction would be, but when he saw the keepsake he had the sweetest look on his face and just smiled at me.

Lot's more memories to come!
