Easter Sunday.

i suppose the beach house curse has lifted for the lucys. after sarah kate's class party on thursday, we drove down to the beach house where we spent 5 fun and, most important, sick-free nights. i'll do another post about all our beach fun soon. as for Easter sunday, the Easter bunny found us at the beach house and then we went to st.marys to join jonathan, ashley, ava, bryce, mimi and papa at jonathan & ashley's church for their Easter service. after church we went to their neighborhood clubhouse for lunch. we love joining them for Easter!

the twins are beginning to learn and understand about Easter and the resurrection of Christ. bryce, who is very serious about her education, has especially had alot to say about it and she can tell the story quite well! anyway, ashley and the girls spent the night with us thursday night and mimi came over to take us all to dinner. ava rode with me and mimi while sk rode with bryce and ashley to the restaurant. ashley was so tickled at the conversation on the way - she said bryce and sk tried to out-talk each other. they are big time talkers for sure. anyway, she said that bryce told the Easter story and talked about how Jesus is not dead, but he is alive!!! and she said that sk chimed in and said, "and Jesus loves me!" amen, girls! made us all laugh.

just waking up....

she wanted the bunny to put eggs in her basket. so he did, along with a few books, 2 new bathing suits and a new straw-cup.

feeling fancy in her Easter dress. sk is going through a HUGE dress phase and all she wants to wear is a dress - smocked ones are her favorite because they are longer and fancier. girls.

our last Easter as a family of 3.

walking back to our cars.....

trey, sk and i went back to the beach, papa went back to work, and everyone else went back to their houses. and sk cried the whole 30 minutes back to fernandina because she didn't want us all to part ways, "but i want us all to be togetter!!!" "i want ava bug, and brycie bear, and mimi, and papa, and jon-jons, and ashey!!!!" she was truly in the depths of despair.....i wasn't even sure if she would be able to join trey and i on the beach or if she would need to lay down and nap. she pulled it together and we had a great afternoon on the beach and a fun dinner downtown.

"heck no i'm not taking a nap, i'm going to the beach! y'all comin'??"

digging to china with daddy....

hello, fish....

what a great Easter we had! we are blessed and are so thankful that Jesus died to save us from our sin and now lives with God in heaven and in our hearts.

John 11:25-26
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die."
