Easter weekend

What a crazy weather weekend we had! It didn't snow here, but we got some sleet and we know of several people who did get snow. It is April- so weird. I got out on Saturday and got a pedicure(since I was going to be wearing sandals, which I did not!) And then I went to the mall, along with everyone else in Austin. On Saturday night, we went to take dinner to our friends David and Julie who just had baby Grant. We stayed and ate and Barrett and Tate had a great time playing. We(the adults) had a good time talking and eating.
Sunday, we got up and saw that the Easter Bunny had come. Barrett was so excited and jumped right out of bed. He had fun looking at what the Eater Bunny brought him and he also told Brooklyn about everything in her basket. We went to church and heard a wonderful message on what the death and resurrrection of Jesus mean for us today. And we sang some great songs!
After church, there was an Easter egg hunt and Barrett had a blast getting as many eggs as he could. There were tons of eggs and not too many kids, so we will have candy for a while. I was a wonderful time for him. We went to lunch at our friends Brent, Andrea and Blake's house. Andrea made such good food and it was fun to have a leisurely meal with them. We are so blessed to have many friends, who are like family, here in Austin. We even got in a nap and then woke up at 5:45 and needed to be to care group at 6 with buiscuits for the dinner we were having. We rushed around, but got there and had a great time chatting and seeing the kids all play together. What a fun group we are a part of. There are like 16 kids and more on the way! What a blessing our group is to us and our children.
I hope that all of you had time to reflect on what the death and ressurection of Jesus means for us. And how wonderful everything is because of the sacrifice Jesus made for us. I hope you felt the love of God surround you today and everyday. Happy Easter.
