Easter celebration

We had a fun time today celebrating Easter at our house with the family.  My parents, brother and his family all came over.  John grilled out chicken and everyone pitched in and brought something to add to the dinner.  We had garlic mashed potatoes, lima beans, baked beans, corn on the cob, bunny cake, cupcakes, lemon ice box pie and of course plenty of candy.  Unfortunately we couldn't go to church this morning because Julianna still can't be around large crowds and Eli has been running a fever since Friday.  He says nothing else hurts and Tylenol works to get it down but then it wears off and he still has a fever.  I guess I will take him to the doctor tomorrow if he is still running a fever.  Poor bubba :(   After lunch the kiddos hunted Easter eggs that John and Uncle Charlie hid in the backyard.  We added the Resurrection Eggs to the stash so we could tell the Easter story to them.  They loved being able to open up these eggs and listen to the story of the resurrection.  We had a wonderful day celebrating our risen Savior with our family!
