He Is Risen

Easter 2012

Said the angel, “He is risen!”
Tell it out with joyful voice:
He has burst His three days’ prison;
Let the whole wide earth rejoice:
Death is conquered, we are free,
Christ has won the victory.


We has a glorious Easter in Oklahoma.  Kirk, Connor, and I headed up to Oklahoma after work on Thursday.  We arrived late after stopping at our favorite chicken place- Babes.  We didn't see everyone until Friday morning and oh what a day.  We decorated, sugar cookies, opened Easter Baskets, swam and had a wonderful dinner of steaks, salad, and baked potatoes with Luci's mom and  friend.  The kids really seemed to enjoy having everyone together.  On Saturday, we went to the famous Liddell Easter Egg hunt with over 2.000 eggs and the Easter Bunny.  Finley only wanted pink eggs and Carter wanted the candy in the eggs.  We spent the rest of the day swimming and cooking out.  


Jeremy and Luci have done a huge remodel which includes a pool and theater room.  At least that is where I spent the majority of my time.  My favorite moment of the weekend was Finley and I watching Beauty and the Beast in the theater room and both falling fast asleep.  On Sunday we went to Life Church and heard a great sermon and beautiful music.  Finley loved her Sunday school class.  Carter wanted his momma- he is going through the age where momma is his whole world.  I do so remember that with my boys as well.  We gathered up our things and had to say goodbye to head back home.  We were supposed to stop and see Kirk's mom and his side of the family, but Uncle Stephen was ill so we were not able to stop in Waco.  We were so sad to not get to see them.  We will get together another weekend soon I hope! We came home to Abbey and Justin and had a wonderful Easter dinner of Pizza and Cinnamon Sticks.  What an awesome family I have and I am blessed to be their Bella!
