He is Risen!

Happy Easter everyone!

We had a nice long Easter celebration that started off with the kids' Easter parties at preschool. Melia and I were able to attend both of them. We LOVE our preschool Graham Cracker Express and are so thankful for our awesome teachers and friends.

Hunting eggs inside - it was a rainy party day!


Nothing better than listening to the Easter story in Ms. Cheryl's lap! We love Ms. Cheryl!

We celebrated our Easter weekend with most of my family which was such a treat. The kids love having everyone around and I think the feeling is mutual. We are so blessed to have such a close-knit family. A blessing that I count very often.

We started off the festivities with a "Beck Family Bunny Run 5k." The sisters even made matching shirts:



Aunt Natty took the cake by running the whole way:



Matt and Bossy rode bikes with the kids... and Oliver rode all by himself for the first loop (1.6 miles!)

And Dad walked the whole 5k!


While Meme and my grandmother Nana held the baby!



Next was an Easter Egg hunt in our backyard:





We ended the weekend by celebrating our Risen Lord at our church with my family that was still in town. Here we are all ready to go:

Happy Easter!
