Christ has Risen!

Well...this is only 2 months late...but life's been quite busy in the Toole house!

Christ has risen!!! On Easter Sunday Christ rose from the grave and this is what we celebrate...our eternal life because of Jesus' sacrifice!! 

We also do the whole Easter bunny thing...because it's fun!!

The Saturday before Easter our church had an Easter Egg Hunt and even though James was too little to understand I still took him!!  It was fun for me!! 

He barely looked at the camera or the 5 people shouting his name and making funny noises...all he cared about was the silly face holding him...I was surprised we even got this good pic of him!


Easter Morning James woke up to a table filled with Easter baskets!!  Turns out the Easter Bunny went to 4 houses this year (1 basket not shown) and they magically ended up at all together at our house Easter Morning.

James & Mama went to East breakfast at church and then headed to Sunday service to Praise Jesus for his sacrifice of dying on the cross for our sins!  This year I related more to God giving his one and only son to die on the cross for others sins....I can't even imagine letting anyone pinch James...let alone murder him....Thank you God and Jesus for your sacrifice so I can have everlasting life!!!

After church Daddy, Mama and James headed to Grandma Elliott's for lunch.  Somewhere along the way James caught a bug....the STOMACH BUG!!!!  Our poor little boy got sick several times.  After 24 hours, some pedialyte, and cuddle time with Daddy and Mama our little guy was back to himself!
