Happy Easter!

I'm a little late with my Easter post! We had a wonderful Easter Sunday lunch at mom's. Her cooking is always great. We didn't get to have the full crew at mom's but we had a good time anyway. We missed Unkie Orlie (Aunt Lori...my kids renamed her) and hope she's feeling better. Michael & his family were at home in TN with his wife's family for Easter. Rustin and his family also had other family gatherings to attend. It's so hard to get everyone together on holidays but sometimes we accomplish it.

The girls love hiding and hunting eggs! Hunter could have cared less for the eggs. He enjoyed slinging the bucket but didn't care for the grass in it. The night before we colored eggs at home...the girls always enjoy that! Hunter couldn't last for the egg coloring. Maybe next year.

Easter is such a fun time with the kids but you know the best thing about it...it's when our older daughter tells her little sister (in the midst of all "extra" stuff that goes along with Easter) "that the real reason we celebrate Easter is the death and resurrection of our Lord and Saviour...Jesus Christ"! It touched my heart. If you don't have them or have never seen them...you've got to purchase the Resurrection Eggs to share with your kids at Easter. Most christian book stores carry them. It's a wonderful tool to tell the Easter story to your kids. Our kids LOVE them!
