Easter 2012

We spent Easter at home this year! Picture roll begins with the Easter Egg Hunt and party at Pumpkin Shell Preschool. Their favorite P-Shell song: "Here comes Peter Cottontail". Big deal: NO TEARS from the Jankowski twins! First party in 1.5 years where they didn't cry when Mommy or Daddy came!! Yay, they are really growing up!



G&A with G's schoolmate "girlfriend" Halle.


On Saturday, we attended our church's annual Easter Egg Hunt which G&A loved! Hunting eggs with their friends, big indoor inflatables, decorating cookies & picnic lunch...doesn't get much better!


The foursome...Cache, Abigail, George, & Asher





Twin slide!

lunch on the greens...

Dessert, round one!

Daddy & Abs


Big highlight was Miss Abigail waving hi, high 5-ing, hugging, and taking as many pictures as possible with the Easter Bunny! First time in her life!! Her motivation: we told her we would not consider DisneyWorld for her to meet the Princesses until she was consistently not afraid of costumed characters. It worked....guess we have to pony up with that trip...

We attended a gorgeous early morning service at McFarlin MUMC, then returned home for Matt to cook an amazing feast for us, Nana, Pop, and the Pollans. We enjoyed the time with our family & friends and stayed outside the remainder of the day!

The Kids' Table!


The Easter Bunch


The "real" Easter Bunch...


And this is what Matt spent the next five hours doing...when he gets a gumption to do something, watch out! He dug up four 48-year-old holly bushes from our front flowerbed & re-planted on the side of our house. Guess that was his workout for the day!



Awesomely amazing bit of grace: G&A understood Easter this year on a much deeper level. Since our dear friend Mark died recently, they understand death and funerals. They joined us for big church and loved the music. Abigail was caught singing "Christ the Lord is Risen Today" several times yesterday....makes my heart so happy and I know the Lord is pleased with her as well!
