celebrating!

we have had a fun and a very full day! church was one of the best easter sundays that i can remember...we had lots of visitors, lots of children, AND lots of volunteers (praise the Lord)!! the theme for today truly seemed to be one of complete celebration and it was contagious. after a great day in the Lord's house, we headed to gastonia to spend the rest of the day celebrating with my family.

we celebrated with lunch together...

pictured was my contribution to our easter feast (green bean casserole and pineapple casserole) plus some yummy cream cheese danish swirls i made for breakfast for my coordinators.

we celebrated with pictures and just generally loved being together...we had a yummy, yummy lunch, exchanged some easter treats, went for a walk, watched some golf and laughed and laughed and laughed. i truly have the best family...we love being together and we have such a great time doing it :)
