springtime fun

Hi friends! I haven't been around on the blog much, but if you follow me on twitter, fb, & instagram, you probably can tell that warm weather is my love language! ;) We have been enjoying the outdoors maybe a little too much {hence my sunburn shoulders from the beach yesterday}! I just thought I would share some pictures of our fun times outside lately!

This is my new favorite picture of Maggie Claire! Seriously, the polka dots are killing me! I could eat her up! ;)

We were at the beach for our missional moms April large gathering this week, and had the best time! I love love love going to the beach, but when you go with your friends, it's so much better, and Maggie Claire had the best time!

Her strawberry swim suit & hat this year are just a bonus to her sweetness.

This was from a few weeks ago at the GFI Charleston Easter egg hunt. This was her official first egg hunt, and let's just say she picked it up really fast, as you can see with her basket full of 20+ eggs!

If you want to join me for some springtime fun, I'm hosting a playdate at wannamaker park this coming Wednesday, April 25th at 11am! We will be meeting at the sprinklers, so bring your kids in their swimsuits & a lunch, and we'll have some fun! If you have any questions, just email me hilarysurratt@gmail.com

Have a great weekend! :)

Easter pictures

Our Easter was fantastic and we are totally worn out today. Being in ministry & working at a church, busy holidays will wear you out! Church was amazing and Pastor Greg did a wonderful job (as always). It was super fun to love on lots of babies all weekend in the nursery. Speaking of babies... I had one beautiful Easter baby, Maggie Claire! Here's the classic family Easter picture outside church.

We are so blessed to know that Christ died for our sins so we can live!

I'm hoping everyone had a wonderful Easter from our family to yours!

"And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus." Luke 24:2-3

fun saturday

Saturday morning was my nephew Jack's 3rd birthday party. It was a fun family party with one excited 3 year old! He had a Thomas the tank engine theme party, and Bethany made a really awesome Thomas cake. Jack loved all of it and seeing his face light up with all of his favorite people around was just priceless. When we walked in the door he yelled with his three year old high pitch voice "It's another present!" We got him a bubble blowing gun, pretty cool for a 3 year old. He is such a sweet boy! Happy birthday Jack Jack! We love you!

Tonight was the beginning of the Easter services at our church. We had 2 services tonight, and they seemed pretty packed, so I know in the morning there will be so many people at all the church services. I'll be in the nursery for a couple of the services, so I know there will be a lot of babies! It's going to be fun, I love love love Easter! Plus, I can't wait to attend service tomorrow with Mike. It's going to be a great day! Happy Easter!

"It is true! The Lord has Risen!"
