Easter with the LeBlanc's

While we were at the Sunrise service today, the Easter Bunny passed!
 While we got the camera ready and in position, we made Avery wait in the playroom.
 She was hiding her eyes :)
 "Mom, are you really making me wait for this!"
 Seeing her stash!
 Sand toys!
 Sidewalk chalk
 And a new bike!!!! Avery could never get the hang of the balance bike. So we decided to get her a good, old fashioned kid bike with training wheels. She loved it and is doing great riding it.

 After church and Easter gifts, we went to Grandma and Grandpa's. They had all the great grand kids together, so we TRIED to get a picture. This was the best of the 120 shots we took.
 Drew was able to come home from school to spend Easter with the family. It was great to see them now that they are home from Germany.

He is Risen!

I was so excited that our church decided to do a sunrise service this year. I have such sweet memories of attending sunrise service with my dad at the Methodist church in Luling. We got up SUPER EARLY and were out on Lake Ramsey at 6:30am.
 We had a great turn out of church members and people from the neighborhood.
Avery's BFF CeCe was there too.
 Jeff, Caylon and Mr. Ed had an acoustic jam session.
 After the service we even had the honor of watching "Tiny" be baptized in Lake Ramsey.
As Avery calls it, he "got wet for Jesus" :)
 It is so exciting to see God working in our church. We are living out what the biblical church is all about. We aren't meeting in a building on Sunday morning, but we are in each others homes every night of the week. We are eating together, sharing our triumphs and struggles, helping each other out with day to day issues. And people are growing closer to God through all of it.
The Easter Bunny even came to worship with us!
 After service the kids had an Easter egg hunt and took pictures with the bunny.
Happy Resurrection Day!

Easter festivities

 We have had a great Easter Season this year. We decorated Easter eggs.


Last week, we went to see the Easter bunny. Avery was so cute, she ran right up and hopped on his lap. Then she struck the pose :)
 The Saturday before Easter we went out to Josh and Jonnilin and celebrated with the Danford's.
The kids we very excited to get their Easter baskets.


 Even Alexa :)
Sorry Angela, I didn't get a picture of Lila!
After baskets the kids dyed Easter eggs.
 Josh made his world famous crawfish while Josh and Jake supervised.
 Strike a pose boys :)
 This made the 2 pregos VERY HAPPY!
We had a fabulous day! It was perfect weather, we spent the entire day outside.
The kids played their hearts out. Bubbles, power wheels, and MUD!!!
We are so thankful to have all the Danford's in one place right now.
It is so sweet to watch the kids make memories and laugh with family.
