He is Alive!

Jesus is alive and well - tell everyone you see, oh, tell them for me! We are so blessed to be celebrating the resurrection of our Savior. I know this was a week ago but I'm still enjoying the lovliness of it all. I often wonder which Holiday is more significant - Christmas or Resurrection Sunday? One he was born, the other he died and rose again. One couldn't have happened without the other - so they both win!

The boys were the hams for the camera this year - so sweet in the photos!


Even Mason wanted a little limelight - he has to be the most handsome nine year old I know.

We convinced Grandma and Grandpa they needed to be in a pic occasionally and this is what we got. Braden looks like he's gonna choke grandpa but overall it was a rare chance to have a pic with them and all the grandkids at once.

The Newton family cooperated too - Bryan almost smiled - which is no small feat. Melissa did a great job coordinating them all (even hers at the last minute) Such a beautiful group they are.

Bryan and I looked like we tried to coordinate - see the lack of smile?

Taylor wanted a pic of just she and Abbi - I see here how Abbi's baby look is going away and on comes the "akward" adolescent years. Lord help me!

Here is the Legg clan men: David striking the JC PEnney pose.

All the Legg ladies - even Mamaw!

We really are so blessed! Enjoy the photos and I hope to have some scrappy stuff to share soon - I'm going through withdrawals if truth were known. :)

Let the Festivites Begin ~

The Easter festivities have begun! It's such a challenge to keep Christ in any holiday and Easter/Resurrection Sunday is no exception. With bunnies, eggs and candy everwhere ~ it certainly takes work! We are so grateful for our salvation and I NEVER want my children to think this holiday is about anything else. It's fine to hunt the eggs, eat that chocolate and even wear new clothes but it's not about that. Our entire lives would be in vain without the birth, death, and RESURRECTION of our Savior, Jesus Christ!

If you are new here, take the time to get to know Jesus ~ he's the BEST FRIEND you could ever have.

I did get the chance to attend Braden's egg hunt at school. They did the "bunny-out-of-a-milk-jug" trick (pretty sure that's what we did in K-garten and I'm not saying how many years ago that was!) He had a blast! What kid doesn't love guaranteed candy?

Last night Abbi and I made these eggs out of Rice Krispie treats. We dipped them in chocolate and then sprinkled them. She loved it - her exact words were "and they're homemade!" Marshmallow treats are not rocket science but don't tell her - she thinks I'm amazing!

We took an empty egg carton and cut it into three equal sections and placed the eggs in them. We wrapped them in plastic wrap and tied with a bow - Perfect for their teachers treat!


BTW - I'm still stepping on those sprinkles this morning - OUCH!

Hopefully I'll have a chance to post Abbi's pics from the race tomorrow - still can't wait to see if three miles "really doesn't sound that hard" after she does it!

Happy Good Friday!
