Spring Break/Happy Easter

Last week was a lot of fun! It was chaotic, but fun. We had a lot of family time doing nothing but painting, cooking, reading and watching movies.
On Thursday my newest nephew was born! Nolan James was 8 lbs 5 ozs and 21 inches long! He's such a cutie! He looks more like Carrigan than Weston. I'll post some pictures later.
On Friday night, Brayden and I made Resurrection cookies! If you have never made them and have children, grandchildren, or a young Sunday School group this might be something fun to do! Check out the recipe online http://www.annieshomepage.com/resurrectioncookies.html Needless to say, Brayden can still tell you parts of the story about Jesus' death, burial and resurrection! We definitely have a little Peter as when we were discussing how the men beat Jesus, he kept saying he wanted to hit those mean men and was swinging the wooden spoon that we were using to break the pecans up. At any rate, I just highly recommend this activity for the lesson (and the cookies aren't too bad...they taste kind-of like divinity)
Saturday we spent the day coloring and hunting Easter Eggs. We had an egg hunt at our church at 2 and then we went to my grandad's for dinner and had yet another hunt.
Sunday morning we went to church, then had lunch with my family and dinner with Trents. And of course...2 more Easter egg hunts! I'll have to post pictures later, but the boys were so cute in their matching outfits!
