deep, meaningful questions

does jesus care what i wear on easter?

"no, not" (said in my best mr. darcy accent). but i do. instead of a new easter dress, i went with easter shoes this year...

a few years back, i was a bit embarrassed when em offered her prayer request in sunday school, "my mom can't wear cute shoes anymore". well, we can just chalk these cute little numbers up to answered prayer, i guess. take that, bunion surgery!

how important is it for a family to be color coordinated on easter?

very. again, not to jesus, but to me. it's not important to my husband or children, but they oblige. thanks guys.

did i retouch wrinkles around my eyes and a gray patch of hair in the above pictures?

guilty as charged.

did lulu enjoy the easter egg hunt?

you tell me...

(all that excitement before she even knew there was candy in them!)

are my big kids too old for easter egg hunts?

nope. {whew}

can tie dye eggs turn out cool from a $2.99 kit?

yep. totally cheap and totally cool.

does jack ever where a shirt?

church and school. that's about all.

no easter basket? no problem..

is anyone else freaked out by how much em looks like me in this picture?

it's even freakier than the "freaky eyes" themselves.

were we sad to spend another holiday without gunga?

most definitely. we couldn't help but think that last easter, we were with her. she was loving us and laughing with us...

we were so blessed.

and we were we blessed this year to celebrate this glorious holiday with family who we love and with whom we laughed...

all is blessing.

and so it was a very happy easter...
