Christ Arose!

Easter is an amazing day to celebrate.  Just to ponder the enormity of the fact that Christ conquered death for US and AROSE!  Hallelujah, Christ arose! 

LOVE THESE two precious, precious gifts from God and knowing the hope that they have in Christ makes everything that much sweeter.

We attempted to make a few cute pictures but little man would not hear of it! 

(The above picture is him making a monkey face!)

(These two know exactly what to do now when it comes to Easter egg hunting! They were both SO very excited!

This is sweet Milly girls first Easter!

Little Murphy had ONE thing on his mind and that was to get outside! 

(Just so that you know...We no longer live indoors;)

The girls chowed down on the very yummy Easter lunch! Although I think Murphy ate more than both of the big girls combined!

Nino and Joe Joe gave these darling cups to each grandchild for Easter! Their monograms are on the front and birthdays are on the back! O-I just LOVE them!

Joe Joe helped Murphy carry his basket!

It was adorable to watch Murphy hunt Easter eggs this year! 

He totally understood what he was supposed to do!

"Eeeegg!" ~m 

(This is what Murphy would say when he saw another one and would start running after it!)

Madelyn found 42 eggs!! Holy Moley!

Her basket filled up so she just started grabbing them! Bless her;)

The Ivey 4!

It wasn't long before Murphy figured out that there were goodies inside some of the eggs;)
