Happy Easter!

This Easter there were a lot of firsts in the Ferris house.
It was the first Easter, in a long time, all the eggs stayed in the shoes and did not end up in the belly of a Boston Terrier! We got smart; Toby slept in our room, and we remembered to close the bedroom door.
The kids were up before us, and managed to get into their Easter baskets before we could even get out of bed (I blame the bedroom door being closed).
We were ready for church with time to spare (and even made it to the early service). This one is blamed out our "smart" alarm clock. It sprung forward an hr and so when I woke up in a panic at 7:15 concerned about having to be out of the house in an hr I jumped into the shower. It was only after getting out and stumbling downstairs to get coffee that I realized it was in fact only 6:25AM.
I hope everyone had a blessed, fantastic day and were able to celebrate and reflect on the awesome gift of Christ and the empty tomb!


The shoes, lined up outside the bedroom doors.



The baskets on the table.

Travis was able to get a picture of the kids checking out their loot (I know, we need to get around to painting that wall)

The four kids all decked out in their Easter gear.
We made an Easter dinner tonight and had 5 friends from church over. It was wonderful to be able to entertain!!! I loved every minute of it. Travis helped me make a ham, a lamb, veggies, potatoes, jello salad/pudding, and he was nice enough to create and Easter egg cake minutes before our company came.
