Easter Weekend


What a glorious weekend it was with Daniel marrying Adrienne, all my family in town, and to celebrate that Christ has made it possible for us to be together as family forever!



More wedding pictures to come in another post.

We ate yummy reception leftovers for lunch, found Easter baskets, went to church, had an Easter egg hunt, and enjoyed a fabulous ham Easter dinner. Doug's parents joined us for the day and it truly was a celestial experience for us to have all our parents in our home.

Jaxon and Talon couldn't get enough of their aunt and uncles and grandparents! They loved the excitement and attention. Jaxon even got to sleep with his uncles...what a treat!

Here's a slide show of our Easter Egg hunt:




After taking the Sturgeons to Gabes, Monday morning, they took off to see church sites in Ohio, New York, uncle John in Philedelphia, and Washington D.C. Mom, Dan, and Hunter, along with Doug's parents, stayed around and we went to Coopers Rock for a rock climbing adventure (not the kind with ropes, just the kind you can climb on by yourself). The kids loved being outside and wanted to climb on every rock uncle Hunter did.

That night I helped Hunter earn extra credit in his Foods class at TMS (ahh, memories) and taught him how to make Chicken Cordon Bleu Bake...one of our favorites!

The next morning we went to the park before they took off to North Carolina to see aunt Val, sites in Washinton D.C. and Grandma Stu and Uncle Bob in Baltimore.

  3. Hi Amber! I loved your beautiful dress for the reception and loved seeing you with your mom and family. What wonderful times! Good memories! They just don't seem to last long enough do they? But then, I guess we appreciate these moments even more. Glad to read your post. Happy belated Easter.

  4. I love the updates and the pictures are awesome. I especially love the one of you with your mom. Definitely post as many wedding photos and talk about the wedding experience as much as humanly possible. And I am planning on coming to the reception, so we'll need to talk on the phone to make sure we get to play. I love you so much!
