He is risen!

And that is what my new banner says - but the print on the letter fabric is too busy to show up on the camera well. But just the same - Christ is risen!

It was my first time hosting Easter (or any major holiday, for that matter.) We stayed small with just my sister and Dan's parents and sister Amy. But we still went all out with the food. It was a very blessed time. I made my first lamb and it was as easy to prepare as it was delicious to eat. I used this recipe and highly recommend it. We did not grill it since I bought a bone-in leg. I just popped it in the oven according to Julia Child and we all got to smell it roasting as we noshed on our appetizers.

The day before Easter we got a big box in the mail - a box full of Thomas the Train goodies! Dan's Aunt Bridget sent us all of her sons' old trains - what a huge surprise it was for the boys -thank you thank you thank you!

The boys enjoyed Grandma and Grandpa's Easter egg hunt.

Isaiah stayed inside with his new ball.

And we finally got some casual family photos. Our family has grown since last Easter!
