I'm in the Lord's Army

We found a great CD Aunt Melissa gave us that has a lot of those old favorite children's songs.  I want Elli to know these songs growing up as well so we've been spending time listening to it in the car.  So far, this one is  her favorite.  Does anyone else recognize it?  

Here Comes Peter Cotton Tail

The Easter Bunny visited our house. As you can see, Elli is more intrigued with her little gifts.  Jackson was more intent on dumping the contents of his basket.  Boys will be boys I suppose...

Easter Sunday

Happy Easter from The Wallers!!!

ps-Thank you Grandma Waller for making our matching outfits.  They are so cute and we love knowing they are handmade by you.  Priceless!  We will always treasure them.  

A Little Happy

Grandma Waller sent Elli a great little egg dying kit.  We were able to get in the kitchen and decorate this afternoon.  Check out her creation!  Thanks Grandma for the "little happy" in the mail!

First Baptist Easter Egg Hunt

Last year at this time, I was pregnant and ready to meet Jackson.  This year I have my entire family with me at the Easter Egg Hunt, able to participate in the action.  I am truly a blessed woman!

 

Love this one!  He is so happy to be by Elli

Lord of the Dance

Elli was able to participate in First Baptist Church's Maundy Thursday service.  The adult ensemble led worship in a cantata entitled Lord of the Dance.  The dancers grew in age as the story followed the life of Christ.  Here is the first song. Our dancers were great.  A bit distracted in this first number but by the last one they had dramatically improved.  I am so thankful to be a part of a church that encourages children to participate in worship.  As my wise friend said, this is how they learn that they can and should be a part of the worship service.  I'm so glad Elli feels comfortable with her church family.

Enjoy this little number....

more videos to come, my computer is giving me trouble uploading

Preschool Easter Egg Hunt

We had our first Easter Egg Hunt with Elli's preschool class today.  It was only a bit chilly, but once we got moving, it was fine.  We had a blast and it was fun meeting Elli's friends from class.  Her teacher always does an amazing job.  I am so glad we have had this year there and can't wait for many more for Elli and Jackson.

Pure joy!

Love this idea - kids put eggs in one big basket and later received pre-stuffed eggs.  Great idea for these lil' people!

Look at those cute baskets they made...with their finger and foot prints.  Definitely a keeper!

My sweet girl

And Elli shows her true colors =)
