Family Time

We had a great weekend, spending a lot of time with Family. Friday, Mimi and Papa came over and surprised Abby. We all took her to school and then at 3:15, we surprised her again at school as Mimi was the mystery reader for the day. Abby was so excited! Then that evening we had the school carnival. Abby had a great time and got all kinds of "special" prizes. (the kind of stuff you secretly throw away after they go to bed) I worked at the prize table for the second half of the carnival and it was crazy! But lots of fun.
Saturday, we met Nana and Big Bear at Julie and Robs house so that they could take Alasen and Abby for a sleep over. Which left just Audrey for Jon and I to look after. What a difference when you only have one child to take care of! We went to lunch with Ashley and Will and then went to the mall so that Jon could get some new dress clothes and a new book. Then Sunday, I was up bright and early to ring handbells at the early service for Palm Sunday. Helped teach Sunday school, and then we were on our way to Jake's 8th Birthday party. I have included some pictures below!
This week has flown buy and there is still so much to look forward to as we celebrate the gift God gave us in his son, Jesus. Sometimes its hard for me to wrap my head around what a significant gift that really is. Its amazing to know that God cared about us all so much that he would allow his only son to die on the cross.

If I don't post anything before Sunday...may you all have a wonderful Easter!
