An awesome Easter!!!

We had a great Easter here at the Walls house...sometimes our Easters tend to be a bit hectic and I expected this year to be a little hard because it was my first go at it with four kids. Matt is never here to help on Easter morning because he has so many responsibilities at the church so I struggle trying to get everyone dressed and there on time. But we made a couple of changes that seemed to help out with the time management issue....we gave them their Easter baskets on Saturday night and I dressed them all up and took all my pictures on Saturday afternoon. So, on Sunday morning, it was pretty much a normal church morning - except trying to dress them up a little nicer that usual. Of course, the church was packed out - which is great - but finding a seat was a bit tricky. The highlight of the morning was that our oldest son, Micah, got baptized!! And Matt was able to baptize him - which was so great. But, the poor little guy was freezing because the water was accidentally let out of the baptistry and they had to refill it only minutes before he had to get in it....it literally took his breath away (just look at the expression on his face). But he did it and we are so proud of our little guy!!

What a great way to celebrate Easter!

Pictures the afternoon before is brilliant!

We have always given our boys their Easter baskets after church. Every Easter morning I seem to "forget" my Bible in the house and have to run inside to retrieve it. Then I put their baskets out on the kitchen table so they are waiting for them when we arrive home.
