Christ the Lord is Ris'n Today A-a-a-a-a-le-e-lu-u-ia

What a happy morning in the Lucas household today!
Molly was thrilled with the basket of goodies the Easter Bunny left her this morning.  And as a comparison...
...same ears, bigger head.  Same basket, bigger baby!

 Bubbles inside in the morning?!  What a way to start the day!  Then we moved to the playroom for an egg hunt.  She found every one all by herself and inside were things like new hairbows, candy, and even some money for her piggy bank.  She would open the eggs with candy and dump it out and say "candy" and she never once put a piece in her mouth...don't think she knows what it is and I'm not gonna tell her:)

 Found all my eggs!
There's nothing like a good baby reaction.  Lots of genuine "oh boys" and "wows"...the best.
 And then it was time to get all dressed up for church.  I pulled this dress out of Molly's 6-9 month storage box with the tags still on it.  It fit.  She's almost 20 months old.  She's small for her age I guess!  She approved;)

Here are Molly and Daddy after church today. 
And for comparison...look at that little tiny baby from just a year ago!

 Dar-ling.
And now for the best part of the day...
 This is the first year in seven that I've actually been in Marietta for Easter and what a Sunday to be here!  We made our way over to Roswell Street Baptist Church for my niece and nephew's baptism.  How cool to be baptized on Easter, with your sibling, by your dad?!  Very.  Mark is the children's minister there and baptized  three more children before he got to Sammy and Marci.  Sammy was first and he was double dipped.  He didn't get fully wet the first time so Mark dunked him again:)
 And then Marci.

 What a special day!  Here's the happy family:
 After church we made our way over to Karma's for lunch.  It was colorful...
Molly kickin' it with Maggi
 Sooooo big!
 She had the whole egg hunt thing down pat by this time!  She even walked around holding just one hand instead of both--first time.  She's getting there!
 Maggi Pie
 I love these kids:)
 She was absolutely spent after this!  So much work.
 And now for my favorite face...
this is how she reacted EVERY time she saw an egg in the distance.  Same face she gives when she hears the Sesame Street theme song!

Picking a flower.
 Sophi's new bike basket from the Easter bunny.

It was a blessed day!  And it's a miracle that I've actually uploaded pictures and posted them too on the very same day.  Craziness ensues tomorrow.
