High5Hughes: Easter Sunday and Spring Break

We had a great Easter Sunday! It was a very busy day, but a really good one as well. We had to be at church by 8:00 Sunday morning because the choir was singing in both services. Mrs. Jane Poole from Child Evangelism Fellowship was here and she did such a great job! The kids (and even the teens) really had a good time learning about God's Word with her.

After church we came home and had lunch. Grandaddy, Grandmama, Uncle Ralph, Aunt Debbie and Cooper all came for lunch. We had a great time and the food was really good as well! We did try to get some pictures of the kids in their Easter outfits, but it was a really difficult task. Melia was being such a girl and didn't want to sit down and get her dress dirty! Brant and Cooper were dressed just alike and they were sooooo adorable. We had a pretty lazy afternoon. Everyone had gotten up really early so we all enjoyed a little afternoon nap together!

Around 6:00pm some friends of ours, Brian and Kristie, from South Carolina came to spend a couple of days with us. We had a blast being together. They have two boys, Will and Neil, and the kids got along great! I figured with four boys playing together, we would be doing a lot of refereeing, but they played really well together. On Monday, we went to the park and took a few pictures. We didn't get any of them all together so we will have to do that when we go to their house in April!

We were supposed to go to the Zoo one day this week during Bryce's spring break, but our van is messed up so we have had to stay home. I really don't think the kids minded at all since we have had company! We are taking the teens to the Student Life retreat this weekend in Spartanburg. Our kids are going to stay with Grandaddy and Grandmama and they are so excited! It is a busy weekend and a fast trip, but I hope that the Lord will do a great work in some of our teens lives! Have a good week!
