Wow! What a wonderful Easter weekend!

We had a great Easter!

At 11 am on Saturday, Lily and I went to our church children's Easter party. She had a fun time hunting eggs and listening to the Easter story. I actually think her favorite part though was eating the pizza.

Here is Lily finding an egg:

This picture is Lily and her friend Makayla. Makayla's mom and I were great friends in high school, so it's a lot of fun having them be friends, too. After leaving the church, we geared up for the party at our house at 2 pm. Lily had around 15 friends arrive for the Easter egg hunt. All of them had the best time playing and hunting eggs.

Here is a picture of Lily and her friend Jancie. They have the best time playing together. They held hands as we played "The Bunny Hop" while the eggs were being hid.

Just some of the "sweet treats" that we had.
Lily still was not loving the bunny. We convinced her to hug him, but she was still trying to get out of his (or her) lap.
Lily with her cousins. She was too busy loving on "Baby Jayla" to pose for the camera. All of these kids had connections to the bank where I work, so we got a picture for our newsletter there.

On Sunday, we went to Sunrise services for church at 7 am and they were great. We stopped by my parents' for the traditional picture session. My dad had to work this year so we missed him but we got a few good pics.

Here is Lily opening her basket and presents from the Easter Bunny.

We had a great meal and enjoyed watching the kids play. Here is a picture of the Cooley grandchildren. This was the best one we could get. It's hard taking pics of 6 kids, especially those with no naps.

When everything was over at 2:15, Lily and I took a much needed long nap!
