Happy 1st birthday Annabel

Last Saturday we celebrated Annabel's first birthday.

Here she is just before her party modeling one of the two special shirts made by Aunt Marci. (Thanks Marci!)

The mess that followed

So, they had told me they were going to use white icing and do the pink spray on it. It turned out to be solid pink icing. Wow!

The big kids had fun playing in the back yard.

Bryson refused to share even one of his "ya ya's" with me. He loves to tease.

Easter

This Easter we had lots of fun celebrating the resurection of Christ.

We started our Easter festivities with an egg hunt at my work, complete with a visit from the Easter Bunny.

The girls were slightly more cooperative when I tried to take a picture with the inflatable bunny.

We got to go to Oklahoma for the first time in a very long time. It was great to see lots of family and friends. We went to Jared's grandma's house on Saturday.

We spent Sunday at my parents house. Mom, Dad and the the girls ready for church.

Us with the girls before church - maybe one day we will get a good pic of all of us at the same time. Until then, this is the best we have.

The Easter Bunny even made an appearance at my parents house. The son of one of my mom's friends dressed up and was so sweet to come by and let my girls and all of my little cousins see him.

It was a great Easter.

(If you think this is a lot of pics, just wait for the next one -- Annabel's first b-day)
