He Has Risen Indeed!

This Easter we made the decision to forgo going to my parent's house and stay here in Bentonville.  I helped throw a party for my friend Ashley on Friday night and I teach the threes on Sunday morning. I didn't want to get a sub on Sunday because, it is such a fun story to share!  We planned on spending the afternoon at War Eagle Mill with Chad's parents and we also invited the Cherrys.  The Wares had to take care of Grandma last minute and so we spent it with the Cherrys! 

 A few attempts for photos with my kiddos! Harry insists bunny years! He kind of gets crazy when we are outside.  He was all over the place! We enjoyed a good ole southern meal at the mill!

 My children are obsessed with Dennis and Kathy! They probably get it from me!  Chad and I love spending time with this couple! They have four of their own amazing children but, we take advantage of the time we get with them since their kiddos all live out of state:).  Kathy has become one of my closest friends and mentors in the last three years. She invests in me and we have grown to love them like family.

There were a lot of fun activities going on at the mill and we spent a lot of time just walking around and visiting with the Cherrys! We also had our fair share of cobbler  from the Bean Palace!

We missed our family but, feel very blessed to have spent such a sweet holiday with two of the most Godly people I know!  More pictures to come of the rest of our Easter celebrations!

Baby Bo and a Dean Easter

We finally got to meet our special and only nephew, Paul Bo Dean! He was named after my dad! Paul is a family name and Bo is what my dad is called by his friends and family.  Baby Bo is probably the cutest baby of all time! I mean that hair!Georgia Kelley was very intersted in him.Harry liked talking to him too!Bo Toes! We did the usual Dean tradition of dying eggs! We didn't do it at my grandmother and granddad's house this year because of plans changing for other family members.  We still have a good time with the immediate cousins!The girls and kids dyed eggs and the guys watched games..shocker!Why do we not learn about the dyed fingers on Easter??Uncle Paul is always good for wrestling!Easter Sunday!Chad matched the kids, but not on purpose!An attempt for a family picture...I don't know what I am doing!

It was a fun weekend but, Georgia Kelley came down with a slight fever:(
I think we will be going back very soon!
I will say we had a very hectic busy spring break and I didn't take pictures....so much regret!  I also didn't take pictures of the other three egg hunts Harry was involved in!  It is harder with a baby in my arms!  I do think Easter is my favorite holiday!  Next Sunday is our church's baby dedication. I have been helping with the Power Point and can't wait to be back at our home church!

Easter with the Wares

Easter has been especially fun this year! One, I have a little girl to dress in sweet spring clothes, and two, Harry is eating up this whole egg hunt fiasco!  Harry and Georgia Kelley cuddled with Grandma!  She is probably one of the sweetest women I know!  Just pure precious!We spent the weekend hanging out with Chad's side of the family the weekend before Easter! Actually Chad and I went out Friday night and then Saturday we did the whole Easter thing at their house.  Mimi and Papa know how to put on a egg hunt!  Papa knows how to cook!  We always feast when it comes to Saturday nights at the Wares!   We went to church with them Sunday morning and Brooklyn was so excited to get get Harry a puzzle!  We loved celebrating the holiday with them!
