Our next celebrations included Easter and TWO very special birthdays!!
Kayla was hosting again – thank you so much for that, Kay!!
The farm looked beautiful when we arrived there after church on Easter Sunday.
Our church service that day was FANTASTIC – so worshipful – the singing was BEAUTIFUL!!!
It was wonderful to have everyone together for Easter lunch afterward!
Kayla, Addie and I split up the meal preparations!
Lunch was DELICIOUS!!
Lane had a birthday two days after Easter!
So we celebrated him!!!
I cannot believe my Lane Stevan is sixteen years old!!
He is growing into a giant and already much taller than his mama.
It was fun to give him gifts to go along with his passion for all things STEM and robotics!
Kayla’s birthday was eight days after Easter!
So her Mom and Dad brought her birthday gift to our Easter celebration as well!
Saige loved the bow!!
Soon it was time for our annual Easter egg hunt for the younger children!
They love this little tradition that David and Kayla do!!
It was cold on Easter Sunday, but we had the hunt outside anyway!!
Then they came back in to open up their eggs.
Another fun celebration in the books!!!
Memories made and memories now kept!
I will say we are having some conversations about how we will handle celebrations now that our family is growing as Grant and Addie get married!
We will need to bunch them together more, I think!!
Time will tell!
Lane Stevan, you are turning into a WONDERFUL young man.
You have such a gentle spirit, soft heart, and show so much grace to everyone in your midst.
You are so, so smart – and we cannnot wait to see what the Lord does with your math and engineering mind!
Kayla Lauren, what a beautiful woman you have become.
You handle all the busy you have with laughter and a big smile on your face.
Your lighthearted spirit shows in your children!
The Lord has immensely blessed your and David’s efforts in so many areas of your life.
I pray often for the two of you to keep Jesus first, and the Lord is hearing my prayers!
Happy, happy birthday to my oldest and youngest birth children!!
What an immense privilege to celebrate you both!!
WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!
