CHRIST the LORD is risen TODAY, alleluiah! what a blessed day! this was the first year garry and i were awake before the kids! we put monkey bread and a breakfast casserole in the oven, and wandered around, awaiting the arousal of our dreamy children! austin (again, surprising) was first, followed by coleman, who gladly "checked" on hampton! within minutes they were ready to find their easter buckets and hunt the candy traditionally scattered throughout our house. a delightful morning it was, complete with candy and a yummy breakfast! the kids quickly posed for a pic before we left for church, and then lunch at aunt ju-ju's and uncle t's house. there, we further enjoyed the day, with yummy brisket and all the fixin's, more sweets, and an easter egg hunt! austin participated (i am guessing because money was involved), and luckily found the golden egg. coleman, however, happily announced that he found more money in the end! oh my, the competition...it is crazy! that said, hampton is also competitively inclined (granted, the influence of her brothers)...and hurried to gather any egg in sight. i was happy to discover though, toward the end of the "little girl hunt," that hampton was locating eggs for her younger cousins, evie and sallie. what a fun family day...our whole family was together! that, in itself, was blessing enough for me!
