Crucified, laid behind a stone,
You lived to die, rejected and alone.
Like a rose, trampled on the ground, you took the fall.
And thought of me...above all.
HE is risen indeed! Hallelujah!
We began the morning, Sam's first Easter, mine as a mother, with a visit from the Easter Bunny. I think I'm really going to like that bunny. He brought Sam new bath toys, some teething rings, egg rattles, and a light up frog. He really understands my boy!
And, I'm pretty sure I spotted him this morning...right in Anamana's back yard!
We loaded up as a family and went to church where Michael W. Smith was our Easter guest. The music was wonderful and moving and really helped us focus on the importance and significance of this great holiday. Thank you Jesus for your sacrifice and may the significance of the cross never be "obscured" in my mind or in my heart.
Suzy hosted Easter lunch at her house where apparently the Easter Bunny had also hidden eggs for all the boys...with money inside. He knows nothing makes a child smile like a pocket full of quarters! For a change, we had a catfish fry with all the fixins, and it was YUMMY! After lunch we all went and hunted for Easter Eggs.
Logan got the hang of Easter Egg hunting and got a bucket full!
And, who knew that when you turn four, you become an egg hunt expert!?!
Kayden had two buckets full of eggs by the time the hunt was over.
Austin stuck with his momma who helped him hunt eggs.
After the hunt was over, Sam counted his loot with a smile and Daddy caught a quick nap.
But, it was Cameron who was the prize egg winner this year!
He found the five dollar egg!
Sam and Grammy couldn't help but laugh when Michael did the
Karate chop game behind the camera.
And, everybody knows Kimmie always has chapstick on hand when you need it.
From kite flying, to scattered showers, to rockin in the swing after a great meal, this Easter was definitely one to remember. We are so blessed to have a wonderful family to celebrate our risen Lord with.
