He is Risen Indeed!

After a wonderful Easter service at church, we headed to our friends', The Pulls, house along with 22 other people.  The Pulls were such gracious and wonderful hosts.

We had an egg hunt.  The men hid all the eggs while the women were inside with the kids.  Andrew might have gotten a dollar for hiding/throwing an egg up into the nest.  (See it with the arrow pointing to it?  That's pretty high.  My baby's got good "easter egg throwing" abilities even if it did take him a million tries.)  

Joe and Trisha have the best back yard.  They have a cool swing set, lots of room to run (which is rare up here) and this cool firehouse.  So, it was a great place for an easter egg hunt.    

After, the hunt at Nana's house, Madeline was a pro!  (Except for that obvious one that she missed in the first picture.)

What is it about little girls, in Easter dresses, carrying an Easter basket?  A. dor. a. ble!

Little boys are pretty cute too :)  Poor Andrew is the lone boy among the gaggle of girls.  I think his parents are excited for Oliver to grow a little bit so that Andrew can have a little boy influence around him and his sister would stop dressing him up in princess dresses. :)  He he

Madeline knows that anything that comes from the Pulls house must be thoroughly inspected before eating, including the Easter candy.  (Actually, the opposite is quite true.  If you have had anything that Trisha has made, you will never question anything she makes.  It is amazing!)

Beth (the older girl pictured below) is the favorite big girl around here.  I'm sure she was exhausted after a long afternoon of playing and entertaining toddlers and preschoolers.  She helps in Madeline's MOPPETS class on Wednesdays and Madeline loves her.  She is one of the only reasons I can get Madeline unattached from my body on those mornings.  

Thanks Joe and Trisha, for a wonderful Easter Sunday with friends.  We had so much fun celebrating our risen Lord with you!
