Celebration of Life

This past weekend was a true celebration of life! A celebration for a life of grace through the sacrifice of God's Son, Jesus Christ! Also, the celebration of Garrett's birthday! We had such a wonderful weekend full of family and fun.

Egg hunt #1 for the weekend

Score!


Once we arrived in Newburgh,the celebration continued. My sister had a Easter party for her neighboorhood. Here are the girls describing the Easter story through Resurection Eggs!

Egg hunt #2!! And notice my sweatshirt, this was the day of the big Final Four game and Garrett's actual birthday!

This kid is getting good at this!


Garrett really liked the pink eggs, should I be worried?!


Garrett's first try at dying eggs with Meme


The finished product. I couldn't get him to look up and smile
He was too busy staring at his masterpiece!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Garrett! Meme's Thomas cake!





Brandon's mom "aka:Grandma Kline" and Uncle Preston came over for a birthday/Butler game pizza party! We had so much fun and I had extra bodies cheering on my Bulldogs!


Blowing out the candles, another thing he had mastered by that point!


PRESENTS!! Yeah golf, daddy was most excited about this one!



Hanging out with Uncle P!



Easter morning, going through his basket from the bunny!



His first Peep. He liked playing with it and saying
"Cheep, cheep" more than eating it!


Here mommy you eat it!


My handsome boys after church. Garrett was unsure of the
tie until he saw daddy's!



The Stephens clan in the Easter best!


The whole family


Egg hunt #3, by this time he had it mastered!


O.k. some help from daddy was appreciated


Cutie pie, Landon!

We are so blessed to have a great family and a Savior in Jesus Christ! Please keep us in your prayers Monday. Garrett is going to have a minor procedure to have his adenoids removed and myringotomy tubes placed. Hopefully this will mean a healthier, happier Garrett!!

Happy Birthday again to Garrett! Looks like lots and lots of fun. The cake you made and the one Meme made are incredible!! You are very, very talented. I'm going to have to hire you. :) What a huge blessing this weekend was to celebrate Jesus and Garrett's 2nd year and the Bulldogs. Looking forward to seeing what the next year has in store for everyone...
