Easter Sunday....and more

Well it's time for another post....Today is Easter Sunday! After we woke up, the kids went through their Easter baskets.......Then we all got ready and went to church with Mom....

After church Mom took us out for an Easter Buffet....It was delicious!

After we came home..the kids changed out of their good clothes and we had an Easter egg hunt......Even Ieshia still enjoys them...

Later on the kids enjoyed playing outside with all their new stuff and loved being able to ride their bikes ....Earlier this week I made some Easter cupcakes..they were yummy...

Crystal spent some time at our house Thursday....

And we had our garden tilled up....we didn't have one last year and I am so excited to have one this year.....I can't wait for home made salsa!

All in all we had another good week!
