Easter and Dollywood!

Me + Peanut at Dollywood

Beautiful day at Dollywood.  We went on Good Friday.  We got season passes.  :)

Me and Andrew's favorite ride at Dollywood.....the choo choo train!

Hunter doesn't like the train whistle so he wore his zebra noise cancelling headphones.  :)

Me and Hunter on this ride.  We had to manually pull ourselves up using arm muscle power.  He was unsure about it at first and was a little scared, but then he had fun!

Easter Best on Easter Sunday.  The boys did not like getting hair gel!! But they did like wearing bow ties!  :)

In the church nursery, getting ready to have lunch. :)



This is from a few days ago



Hope everyone had a Happy Easter!  Praise the Lord He sent his son to die for our sins and that we are free from them and that Jesus cannot be held back by death.  He has risen! 

Easter 2015

We didn't get to attend church services today, unfortunately, because we don't want to spread our sicknesses, but we did enjoy a nice day at the house eating a yummy lunch/dinner and taking food to some of my coworkers, and ending the day at a new playground!  Yesterday, the boys did an egg hunt!  Of course, though, we are glorying in the fact that Jesus died and rose from the dead so that we could be saved and have eternal life!!!!

Easter 2014

 4 baskets!  A certain pink one is quite larger than the rest!  :)

Egg hunting time!  We were unable to go to church on Resurrection Day because Andrew had thrown up once Wednesday night and once Friday afternoon so we didn't want to share potential sick germs.  Everyone else has been doing well, which we are so grateful to the Lord for that!  Andrew seems to be back to normal, too!

I spy a tiger egg!  Courtney and Kyle (my sibling in laws) were so sweet to send us 40 plastic eggs filled with candy, gummies, and stickers for the boys!  

Found one!

My mom sent Hailey bug ears!!!!

We took the family to this really pretty park out in the middle of nowhere, which is down the road from us!

We had a very blessed day!  We also hid Easter baskets that my MIL and FIL sent and gave them sweet gifts that my mom sent.  We read the resurrection story and cooked out steaks.  We made Death by Chocolate and hand delivered some to a couple of my coworkers.  We ended up at a second playground in Knoxville after that.  We watched Easter Veggie Tales.  We enjoyed our day together.  We took time to remember how truly important Easter Sunday is.  Because He is risen, we know we will have eternal life if we believe in Him.  We always try to teach the children what it's all about and that the other things are just fun celebrations of what is truly important.  The most important day of the year, that and Christmas.
John 6:40 - And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

What's in my egg?

Egg dying time!

Found one!

Thanks for helping, Daddy!
We celebrated our Easter on Good Friday since I had to work on Sunday. We started out by reading the story of Jesus and his trial, death, and ressurection as a family. Then we went through our Easter baskets. We used plastic eggs for this and filled them with coins and candy. Then we colored eggs. Well, Sean and Ryan did. Hunter just wanted to dump the dye so we went inside. :) Then I hid eggs for the boys (totally obvious places) and did an egg hunt with the newly dyed eggs. Ryan's total count= 11. Hunter = 1. We ended with chicken on the grill, potato salad, deviled eggs, and corn on the cob.

Sunday, the boys went to church and then to Naner's to eat with the family and do another egg hunt. Then, I met them at church after I got off work so we could see the children's Easter play and eat cookies.

It was a great weekend, but the most important reason to rejoice is because He is risen indeed!

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
