Easter 2012

We had two lovely Easter celebrations this year - one with Neil's side of the family (on Easter Sunday) and one with my family (two weeks after Easter). Of course, both are gatherings with a ton of fun, cousins, way too much food, playing, and Easter Egg hunts. 

Here are pictures of our Easter morning and afternoon together with the 8 of us....
(we were inspired by Charlotte and Jessica and used some of their Easter symbol gifts/dessert ideas)

making resurrection rolls (aka:  empty tomb)....

Here are pictures from the celebration with Neil's family on the evening of Easter....

My first attempt at a lamb cake - not too bad!  What do you think??

Here are pictures from the celebration with my side of the family...
(note:  the blur in the group pictures and egg hunts.....   my camera battery had died as soon as I tried turning on the camera to take the group pic.  Thank you God for cameras on our fancy phones, even though there is a slight blur!)

14 cousins (but will be 15 soon after the egg hatches)

My 2nd attempt at a lamb cake - I think it'll become a tradition now!!

Easter Egg Hunting....

Praying you are blessed with much 

JOY this Easter season!!
