He Is Risen!

Easter morning at our house was pretty low key, at least until the kids woke up and got into their Easter baskets. :)
It was fun watching the kids dig through their baskets and check out the goodies that the Easter Bunny had left. Truett, of course, knew to go straight for the candy....something that Emma seemed to have caught on to pretty quickly!

This pic was probably taken after a few handfuls of Easter candy and this is his 'hopped up on sugar' smile.
I thought I'd throw in a random picture of Nugget from Easter morning just to document his little life. :)
Emma in her Easter dress....the picture is not too clear, but it's the only one I got of her in her full outfit (of course!)
After Mass, we headed over to my mom's house for an Easter Egg hunt, the annual Goulas Family Egg Pocking Contest, and Easter dinner.
Emma & Nannie posing for the camera. This is the smile Emma gives when I say, "Show me your teeth."

Truett & LeeLa'....this was during the Easter Egg Hunt at my mom's house. As you can see, Truett likes to snack on his findings along the way. I guess it helps him keep his energy up!
Emma & Uncle John
Awwwwwe....look at Sarah helping Emma - WRONG! Some of the eggs had money in them. Whenever Emma handed an egg to Sarah, she would shake it to to see if it had money in it. I think Sarah made a whopping $2.48. HAHAHAHHA!
Here are our beautiful eggs we decorated for the Egg Pocking Contest. Any thoughts on which of these glorious eggs would be this year's winning egg???
And the winner is........
Yes! Don't be fooled by this sweet face!
The egg hunts and candy are fun, but they will never overshadow the true reason we celebrate Easter. "He is not here. He is RISEN!" - Matthew 28:6
HAPPY EASTER!
