Life Lately - Easter Festivities

This has been a busy week but a good one!

Sunday
For those of you who know my crazies lately - I finally worked on cleaning out the extra room! 
We launched "Crosses for Christmas" at Easter to help bless orphans and keep dad's legacy going! 
Ella won the Noble Knight award for "working well with others".  This girl loves winning and getting free ice cream passes! 
Pierce hung with us during the afternoon - snacks and HW for these boys!

I am working on re-doing my kitchen.  Here is my dream - just not sure if I can afford it! 
The girls came over after dance and we made "Resurrection Rolls" 
The boys were chilling after supper 
Little hands all trying to help - dipping the marshmallow (representing Jesus body) in oils and spices and wrapping it in the "tomb" 
Ready to put them in the oven
Just as shocked as I was - the marshmallow is gone signifying Jesus is ALIVE

Homemade popsicles 
Practicing guitar and looking so grown up!

Tuesday 
Picture Day at School 
Finally getting a front tooth 
Ella helped me babysit at church - such a little mama! 
Mason turned 40!  Love this old picture
Can you find Corey - Ella's eyes and Caleb's teeth :) 

Wednesday
No church so we did more resurrection rolls
Ella said "just like cinnamon rolls but better" 
Camden's 1st Easter - he had to help too! 
So thankful for this sweet boy - not sure who loves him more - me or Ella! 
Eating their rolls!

Thursday 
Ella said we were twinning - she picked out her bunny dress 
Caleb decided he wanted a picture too!  Last day of school before Spring Break! 
Ella and Catherine walking into school holding hands!  Love their little friendship! 
Caleb's class party - ready for their Egg Hunt 
It was a little harder in 3rd grade - trying to find the answer to their multiplication project 
Some of the boys with their medals for solving the problems 

I left Caleb's party and headed to join Ella
So thankful for these two sweet friends - Riley and Kaylee 
Ella has loved having Lam in her class.  She is from Vietnam and doesn't speak much English but busted in and said "Picture Cheese" .  She had us all cracking up! 
Ella's class is such a sweet class - even though they look like a hot mess! 
Back to Caleb's class for the jellybean STEAM project 
Caleb was so excited for his 1st Communion
I was so proud of him for being the only kid who sat in the service and didn't go to childcare.  

Friday
Ella got her ears pierced (see her holding my hand?) 
Mammy and Caleb came to watch too! 
So pretty - she picked the perfect little diamond earrings
