Easter Memories

I had a wonderful Easter. Sat. morning Cole and Riley came to color eggs. Cole colored all of his green and blue. I had to laugh.
 Then I went to visit my parents in WV. Sun. we had a wonderful Easter service at church.
We had a cookout after church and the grandbabies and neighbor kids had an Easter Egg hunt.
I didn't get to see baby Jake very long, he was headed to see his other Grandmother.

Easter Greetings!

I want to wish all of my blogging friends a wonderful Easter. Easter is special to me, to think that Jesus died on the cross for my sins, so that I may have eternal life.
 I love coloring eggs with my grandchildren which I will do today, and the excitement on their faces when they open their Easter baskets and hide Easter eggs.
 I will vist my parents, attend church tomorrow and fix a meal for my family. My joy will be watching the grandbabies have fun. Wishing you all a blessed Easter.

My friend Tammy, http://ncprimitivesfromthepast.blogspot.com/  and I did a swap and did I receive some awesome goodies.
 Tammy and I first met on FB, she was my first swap partner ever. She is my inspiration for crafting.
She would email me and help me with different things. She is so giving and always thinking of others.
 She is actually the one who got me into making bonnets, she would give me pointers and encouragement, thank you Tammy. I really hope to meet Tammy one day.

Look at this awesome Prairie Rabbit doll!
