• Easter Joy! I mean it!

  My son decided to take a step forward in his faith in Jesus and be baptized on Easter Sunday. They asked Mr Shann to help baptise him and I was just nearly in tears. I gave birth to my son and to see his dad give “new life” to him was something that was almost as amazing as when we brought him into this world. Of course I kept cool so I could get it on video for all ya’ll who have been a part of our lives over the years.

  We had a very great Ressurrection Sunday. I had an order for “cookie pops” that came out darling

  

  I also had a “treasure chest” cake that about brought me to my breaking point but I finished it.. at 2am

  

  not before I put my fist through it the first attempt though… That felt good.

  We also surprised my Dad who is living at a sober living home, at his church on Easter morning at their sunrise service.

  

   It was awesome to see him, I really miss him even though he’s not been around much. He is doing REALLY well, said he “is happy” and adjusting well. It’s been 2 weeks so he can call now but in 2 more weeks he can come over and chill with us on the weekends, I’m really looking forward to that. Seeing him clean and happy is amazing and makes me weepy just writing about it. It’s been SO long since he’s been well, God is so good!!

  With the extra cookies I had sort of messed up on by baking them on wax paper, the kids and I decorated them to take a basket to my sisters house…

  

  I thought the chicks were super cute haha

  Ethan being excited for his baptism made these first…

  

  I made the kids(and Mr Shann)  ”edible easter baskets” because I didnt want to buy them new ones that will just get lost in a year.. these they could eat through and throw away.

  

   

  All in all it was probably one of the best Easters I’ve ever had. I am blessed.
