We had a great Easter Sunday. Mike and I were able to share the good news of the Gospel to the JR. and Primary age children in church like we always do, the choir sang some great songs on the death, burial and resurrection, then after church we headed over to Grandpa and Grandma Benefield's for Easter dinner with family. We had delicious food: ham, lamb, vegetables, salad, yams, scalloped potatoes, fruit salad, and beautiful fruit arrangement, rolls and homemade peach cobbler for dessert. Then on to church for evening services. What a wonderful day to celebrate Christ's Resurrection.

Lots of good yummy candy!
Mommy was excited that they didn't get a whole lot this year. :)
Little do the kids know that most of their candy gets put back into the Jr. church bucket of candy.
A quick Easter picture before eating and getting messy. I want to take a quick minute to voice how thankful I am that God sometimes provides things that aren't needs but just wants. I love to have matching outfits and I love to buy matching Easter outfits every year, but that doesn't always work now that we have 6 kids. Well, there was a couple in our church that came up to us on Wed. pm before Easter and gave us these dresses for the girls. I was so amazed and shocked. It was such an unexpected blessing.

The girls excited about lunch!
The boys waiting anxiously for lunch.
There is such a joy in a parents heart when they see their children happy and content.
The kids are growing up so fast! The boys all look sharp, and the girls all look beautiful. Love the new dresses! It's so neat to see God provide things like that.
