Happy Easter! Cooper got to enjoy TWO baths before everyone even woke up because he kept finding chocolate easter eggs laying around the house. He had half a foil egg in one hand and chocolate all over his face and belly.
After breakfast Oliver kindly helped me finish getting him ready after all of the chocolate was found and put out of reach!
My very favorite moment though was watching him surrounded by older siblings saying, "CHEEEEEEEESE"!
Just before we left for church, we moved the entire dining table out of the way and gathered in front of the fireplace for a quick family picture (thanks Grampa). Cooper kept running out of the picture and chucking his hat off, so it was a bit chaotic. Sure love this crew of ours!
I had Camilla snap a Sunday picture of Mr. Stannix and I since he didn't have to go in early for meetings this morning. It feels as though we will never catch up on lost sleep as we juggle eight children, busy church callings, serving in the community, activities, and whatever else pops up, but these are the very best days of our lives! So grateful to be married to this guy forever and ever!
Then someone fell asleep in Grampa's arms at church...
After church we gathered everyone together on our way out the door for a picture in front of this living Christ image from the display that took place this week.
"Peace is found in faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. When He suffered for our sins and weaknesses, died on the cross, and rose again, the Savior rewrote humanity's history. Because of Him, we do not have to deal with our frailties, sins, and fears alone. Because of Him, death is not the end. Resurrection will come to all who have ever lived. Because of Him, families can be together forever. Because of Jesus Christ, we can celebrate Easter. And Easter is all about peace and hope."
