Fun With Cousins

 For the past few months, my niece and nephews have come over to play while their Mama was at work. With five children under the age of five, every sunny day is a huge blessing from God!

The boys find various items to play with outside. For instance, Donny and Beniah found some feathers that are NOT leaves.

 Evie is just her sweet self and lets me take all the photos of her that I want.

 Elijah just wants to keep up with the big boys and gets frustrated when he can't keep his balance on the uneven ground.

Today, the five kids are together again and the sun is shining. I think that the yard will be calling us after lunch.

Oh Happy Day!

The greatest day in history, Death is beaten
You have rescued me
Sing it out Jesus is alive
The empty cross, The empty grave
Life eternal You have won the day
Shout it out Jesus is alive
He's alive

Oh happy day, happy day
You washed my sin away
Oh happy day, happy day
I'll never be the same
Forever I am changed

Today, we celebrated Easter with some friends from our church.

Elijah had a blast playing with his cute little friend, Olivia (who is 4 days older and 10 pounds lighter than him).

Then came the Easter egg hunt. When Beniah first started out gathering eggs, he by passed two pink eggs and a yellow egg for a blue egg that was toward the back of the yard. His obsession with blue knows no bounds!

 Elijah even found a couple of eggs on the picnic table.

By the end of the day, we were happy, tired, and (for some of us) totally sick of getting pictures taken!

I love the fast shutter speeds!

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter.

When I stand, in that place
Free at last, meeting face to face
I am Yours Jesus You are mine
Endless joy, perfect peace
Earthly pain finally will cease
Celebrate Jesus is alive
He's alive
 

 Oh happy day, happy day
You washed my sin away
Oh happy day, happy day
I'll never be the same
Forever I am changed

Oh what a glorious day
What a glorious way
That You have saved me
Oh what a glorious day
What a glorious name

  Oh happy day, happy day
You washed my sin away

 Oh happy day, happy day
I'll never be the same
Forever I am changed
