Easter Sunday

We had a great Easter in Ohio, starting off by attending New Albany First Church of the Nazarene or "Nafcon". This is a church I used to attend prior to moving out to Cali. So, it was cool to be back there again. Marelle, Carey's sister, sings on the praise and worship team, which was exciting. As soon as Madison saw her on stage she yelled, "Hi, Aunt Mo!" really loud. It was very sweet. Then, after realizing how low she was, she whispered with her hand on her mouth, "be quiet" and she whispered to Josh too, "be quiet, Josh." She & Luke were dressed so adorable. Of course, I am very biased. The kids got to open their Easter baskets, which was fun & we hid plastic eggs for Madi to find. She had a blast! Her favorite basket item was a stamper set. You will see she got some stamping time in her hi-chair. For the record, you did not want to be in our house when Daddy had to take the stamps an ink pad away. It wasn't pretty, she cried- big time :(

After church, we had an AWESOME meal. Marelle and Josh (Shaner) made a pot roast & Josh and I was in charge of providing the dessert. Let me brag for a moment. . .I tried this recipe on "All Recipe's.com" for Carmel Macchiato Cheesecake, and it was so delicious!!!!! I've never made cheesecake before, so I had to buy a spring-form pan and everything. I'd never even heard of a spring-form pan. Anyway, check it out. . .it was superb :)

FYI: I'm hoping to do better about keeping our blog updated, especially for those across the miles!!!
