EASTER SUNDAY

A glorious Resurrection Sunday.

The recent and continued rains put a damper on our Easter plans but we rejoiced in our Savior anyway!

I did not even get a picture of us or even Coco in her Easter dress. I might have to have her dress up for a photoshoot.

This was Coco's Easter basket this year. She is at the age that she didn't want to do the coloring of eggs or hunting. Made this Mama kind of sad.

She received clothes and a couple of tween devotional books and candy.

We celebrated with Scott's parents after church. She had the table decorated so cute.

Nana might be a spoiler! This stuffed Target bag was Coco's Easter treats. She got her lots of cake decorating supplies, candy, jewelry, jewelry box and cash! She says next year she will be better. Yea right! She only has 2 grandchildren so she goes a little overboard.

Saturday night we went to see "The Messiah" at a friends church. I love this production and for a small church they do it up big! I was happy that my Mama and sister both got to come enjoy it with us.  Our church service was good this morning. We got there late and had to sit in the very back and we sat behind a family that interacted with each other all through the service and I kept getting distracted so I feel like I missed most of it. We came home and all took a nap. Love those naps.

I do not love this rain. It has rained since Friday evening. We spent an hour in the cellar on Friday while the tornado sirens were going off. Luckily we didn't have any touch down. It has rained, thundered and lighting all weekend. The forcast shows the rain lasting thur Wednesday. I might be paddling to work tomorrow instead of driving.

Hope all had a Blessed day.

HAPPY EASTER

MY REDEEMER LIVES!!!!!!!!
We sang this song at church this morning and I haven't been able to get it out of my head all day. Also "HE IS RISEN". I love both those songs!
It rained all day today. We had to hunt eggs in the house which was ok but it wasn't as much fun. Ethan and our newest nephew John weren't able to come so we only had 2 hunters and 2 for the pinata! My other nephew Jake is to grown up to hunt so he and I hid them while Coco and Kaylee hunted.

I didn't have time tonight to download all the photos from today but here are a few of Coco dying the eggs yesterday.

I thought this one was really cute. Seeing the eggs thru the glass. It is going to make a cute scrapbook page.

After Mom's we went to see the drama at my friend Renae's church. It is called "Messiah" and her hubby plays Jesus. It was so good! Scott and I both were getting upset at the scenes where the roman soldiers were beating him. i thought they were a little rough for a play but Renae told me he asked them to do so that it would be more real. They did a awesome job for a small church. They have so much passion for Jesus! I took some photos so I will make a post about it later in the week.

It is 10:48pm and I have to get to bed.

Blessings,

Pam

BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S

We had a photo shoot this morning after ball practice. I wanted to get some shots of Coco like Aubrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's! I did get some cute ones but not the perfect one!

Here a few of them.
This is #1 and already the look like "Lets get this over with"

Then lets pretend we are eating since we didn't have a cigarette holder like Aubrey did.

I like this one! I will have to choose a couple of them to give to Grandparents.

We have also been coloring eggs. My idea for modge podge did not work. I had styrofoam eggs and they just didn't stick well enough. So bring on the boiling and dying of eggs. She is still waiting on one to get really HOT pink! She keeps checking on it and says its getting hotter!

We are going to see a Easter Drama tonight at the pentacostal church in town. The name of it is Messiah and my friends husband plays Jesus. I haven't seen many Easter productions but this one is the best. They go all out with real animals. Very good protrayal of the word!

Everyone have a Happy Easter! I think ours is going to be very wet......

Blessings,

Pam

EASTER BUCKET

As promised The Bucket! I made this for Coco probably 4 years ago. It was the best $5.00 I ever spent.
The bucket is from the paint department in Walmart and I just added stickers and ribbon. It is a small one not the 5 gallon, but that could be fun too. She has used it every year and it is always the only 1 of it's kind! Not that it matters but she is unique! This year we are "coloring" eggs a different way too. I will show you once we do them on Saturday. Do you have a tradition of doing the eggs on Saturday before Easter? We have always done it that way. She knows the reason we celebrate Easter and we continue to teach that but we have fun with the eggs and spirit of egg hunts, too.

She also gets a special surprise each year on Easter morning. Our yard is usually full of hidden eggs for her. Our neighbor started doing this for her about 2 years ago and it is so fun to see her run out in her pj's and try to find all the eggs and we have never told her who does it. Someday we'll tell her.

Another thing I did this year for our egg hunt at my Mom's is fill this little pinata chick with lots of goodies for the kids! I think they will have a blast with it. I just hope it doesn't rain us out. If so Mom has a big front porch or the garage if we have to!

THE JOB!!!!!!!!!

I am going back to my previous employer. There was just to many things that were positive about going back vs. staying where I am. The current employer was very understanding when I gave my notice today. I gave 2 weeks notice and I will be leaving in good standing so I will be eligible for rehire. That made me happy because I didn't want to burn a bridge I might need someday! The old co-workers are happy that I am coming back too. They are planning a party, they say! It will be like going home! I get all the same benefits and will still get to keep my 5 year anniversary so that I get 3 weeks vaca this year! Whoo Hooo I like more time off with pay!

I am excited!

Wishing you all a blessed Friday!
