easter celebrations

Wow, we had a whirlwind of a weekend last Easter weekend, but boy, we sure did have wonderful time celebrating Christ's victory with family we love dearly!  

The first celebration was held the day before easter with our THRIVE group (they are part of our "family" too!).  We had a blast sharing a meal together and having a big egg hunt with all the kids who range in age from 2 to 16. It was wonderful and we are feel so very blessed to have such amazing friends, not to mention, our boys have a ball when we're all together! 

  

Next it was off to church on Saturday evening, a great service with an inspiring message challenging us to know, understand and live in the reality of the infinite value of Jesus.  So often, we filter our knowledge of Jesus through things and people, but we need to know Him, really know Him and live like it - that's what this holiday is all about! 

On Sunday morning it was off to Mimi and Papa's house for another meal and egg hunt.  One of the best parts was when Mimi made "Resurrection Rolls" with the kids.  It was a great way to involve and engage the kids while teaching them about the truth on why we were celebrating on this day.  It was a great way to start the celebration.  

  

 

That evening, we heading over to Grandma and Grandpa's house for the last celebration.  We, again, had a wonderful meal, some great cupcakes, and Aunt Darby shared "Resurrection Eggs" with all the kids.  It was great watching the kids interact and talk about Jesus.
