Easter 2008

Our Easter weekend was a very busy one but a lot of fun! We had an Easter Egg hunt at our church on Saturday morning and had fun reminiscing with people that we grew up with in the church - many in the youth group with us and we all have children now! My mom had all of us take a group picture which I hope to get a copy of soon from my sister to post and we blew that picture up and made a huge birthday card with that picture along with a family picture and had everyone at the Easter Egg hunt sign it for my dad! Rick surprised my dad and was able to come to Rock Hill on Saturday night for his birthday so we had a birthday dinner for my dad on Saturday night and then after dinner we dyed Easter Eggs! We were letting Will drop all the capsules in the cups and all of a sudden found that he had snuck one in his mouth! Luckily it was a yellow one and it didn't show up that much - we took him right to the bathroom to brush the teeth! After that the night was smooth sailing with the dyeing of the Easter Eggs! He had a blast doing it! We went to church on Sunday morning and took some pictures afterward! We then headed to Lancaster to my grandparents for lunch and had another Easter Egg for Will and Emma - they had fun doing this! They also got lots of goodies from my grandparents! Rick, Will and I headed to Rick's aunt's daycare center in Lancaster after we left my grandparents to celebrate Easter with Rick's family - the children had a blast playing on the playground at the center! They also had an Easter Egg hunt for them there and it was with money!!! They were all very excited about this! There's a picture of Will counting his dollars - he got 5! :) He put them all in his piggy bank when he got home! He got lots of goodies from Rick's family and Rick's parents also and he loved this! Rick loved it too because some of the candy was for him! Will got some "big boy underpants" from Rick's parents with Lightning McQueen and Mater from the CARS movie and he was so proud of them - he's already taken them out and tried them on! Hopefully it won't be much longer until we can be using them! :) Well....I hope that everyone else had a wonderful Easter with family and friends - I know that we did!



Here's the group photo that was promised....

Hi Mary. Hope all is going well. I love the Pictures! you guys look wonderful! Will is getting to be such a BIG BOY!!!
Please tell Rick that because of him, Dylan loves the Cubs. And Dylan says, "I like the Cubs because daddy's cousin Ricky likes them and he's a good guy." Isn't that cute? Scott and I love it!
Take care and talk to you soon.

Love always,
Jill, Scott, Dylan & Julia :)
