My Savior Lives

HAPPY EASTER

Today we celebrated the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  What an awesome day that brings new life to whoever seeks it.

We spent last night at Aunt Sherries reading Easter books like Miss Pattycakes Resurrection Egg book and The Story of the Easter Egg.   Followed it up with decorating Easter eggs, which Makenna L-O-V-E-D.
Then off to bed. 

Our families try to focus on the real meaning of the holiday while enjoying all the fun activities.  So to find their Easter baskets they had to do a scavenger hunt.  However, the clues were found in the story of the Resurrection. So they got to read and hear the story of  Easter while hunting for their baskets.  We have done this for many years and it never gets old.  The hardest part is coming up with new clues from the same verses of the Bible.  I usually pick the story as told by Luke but maybe next year I will venture to Matthew or John.

Then we all went to church together.  Worshiping together as a family is priceless.  It really bonds our family.  The Word of God never grows old and His promises are always new.

We ended the afternoon with an Easter egg hunt in the backyard.  They hunted eggs filled with money and, you guessed it, organic candy.  Very tastey I might add.  This was Maddax's first Easter egg hunt so he was a little overwhelmed.  Missing his first nap due to church made him a little squirelly.  However, he must have known there was money in them there eggs because he had a very tight grip on his basket.

We hope you also had a great Easter Holiday and no matter how you spent it, that Jesus was glorified.
