Saturday, Margaux helped Danny and I mulch the front flower beds. We REALLY enjoyed our day Saturday. It was a BEAUTIFUL day! The children played outside and Danny and I had fun just talking, working out in the yard with each other. 
For the first time in about 8 years, Danny got in on the action of coloring Easter eggs!With that being said...
OKAY, HOLD ON, I'M STEPPING UP ON MY SOAP BOX:
This weekend I know individually, Danny and I prayed many prayers for our friends and their families who are in the church ministry. This is a big church weekend and many times church staff families must sacrifice traditional family time so that we can have a great Easter experience at church. Hmm, think about it...Easter carnival, Passion Play, church services---how many of you got to choose which one of the maybe 3-5 church Easter events you wanted to attend???...tell your church pastor, staff and their family thanks next time you see them, and next year SERVE to help lighten their load. Okay enough said...moving on.
I found this note taped to Harry Jack's bed last night when I went to kiss him goodnight. He said he wanted the Easter Bunny to come give him a hug in the middle the night. What a cutie! What a kid!
I noticed Baby Jane chowing down on a piece of Easter candy within minutes of waking up this morning...oh well, it was just a marshmallow rabbit. 
My sister Dawn showed up on our way out the door for church...I had a pair of her shoes that she needed to wear.Oooookay, here is where CHAOS quickly breeds in a large family. Within seconds of Dawn getting here, Jane fell and scraped her knee---tears blood the whole thing--- and, at the same time without us knowing, our oldest three decided to take a walk to their cousins house and PLAY BASKETBALL?????? Are you kidding me?????
So, after we recomposed ourselves... 
We took a picture of our sweet Easter Bunnies!
Tonight we had Easter dinner at Dawn's home. I love going to her home--neat, clean, quiet---just like mine--minus the neat...clean...quiet.
Dawn planned a nice Easter egg hunt for the children.
...while the bigger grand children lined up to receive their Easter baskets from Grammy and Grand Daddy!
Thanks Grammy and Grand Daddy!
Now we are back home. Teeth are brushed, the children are in bed, and the house is quiet. Ahhhh!

girl, you are on a roll! I need to do a post too. I loved reading about your weekend and the experience you had on your way to the car for church this morning had me LOL! I read it to Leland. Funny that the oldest 3 decided to shoot some hoops before church.
Your Easter Bunnies all looked so cute today.
oh my goodness. I have a little girl sitting here on the couch crying right now. She saw the pics of everyone (her cousins) at Dawnie's house and she said "all my cousins are having fun without me. It makes me sad". Poor thing!!
Denise, LOVED the post! All the pics were wonderful. Your family is beautiful and they looked grat for Easter. I'm so glad you were able to experience Easter as a family and enjoy it and not be so busy!!
how is it possible that your parents look exactly the same and we all look so different? :) :) great pictures, it must be wonderful all being close together. I think you have one sister near us now, though, right? let us know if you come down Charlotte way :)
FUN weekend! I am so glad you had warm beautiful weather...it was 48, pouring rain, windy and even an earthquake south of us here!!
You got some cute pictures of your babies.. wish mne would have cooperated!
Every time I read one of these posts I am so glad for you that you are in Luynchburg again! I know you are blissful!!
Really nice post, Denise. I'm sooo glad you have your husband back again! And I KNOW you have such a heart for those families who have daddies working in church programs who have to be away so much of the time. Seems like there has to be a happy medium there somewhere.
You all look so happy, and your pictures are beautiful. The children are all getting so big. It's wonderful having you here with us so we can be a part of their growing up. We are blessed!!!
beautiful pictures of a beautiful family! Happy Easter (late).
I always enjoy the Reber girls family posts....y'all really have something special and I love seeing you get to do life together. Great pictures of the kids....they are precious. Maddie is getting so big; beautiful young lady! Glad you had a great weekend! He is risen indeed!!
Great post, Denise! Looks like you had a great Easter weekend. Your kids looked so nice. You always have great pictures of your kids sitting in REALLY GREEN grass. So nice!!! I'm glad Dan the Man got to be part of the festivities. Top Dawg was looking so cute in her Easter dress. Your kids will have so many great memories of growing up together.
Take a look at those cute Logan kids...must have one pretty mama! Love all the outfits and Maddie looks so pretty and grown up.
Can I hire Margaux to mulch our yard?
Ok, hilarious about your kids doing all of that before church! How is that even possible? I feel like we hardly have time to shove down breakfast much less play a game of hoops. HA!
I'll say it again, that Dawn is one stylin girl. And funny that her house is just like mine too.
Good post Denise!!!
Looks like the Logans had one eventful Resurrection Day! We've said it once and we've said it twice but those kids really are adorable! I love Maddie's posed Easter Egg Hunt picture. She's learning from the best! Happy belated Easter. OH and Hakuna...you are looking H-O-T, girl!!!!!!!!!!!! Those locks really do you justice. :)
Let me say, "Your parents and Auntie Dawn rock". Looks like a fun time was had by all. Blessings to you.
