Easter - Part 1

So Easter is almost here!! Its a lot tougher with two kids than just one, or none. But its getting to be so much fun! I made the kids' easter baskets for Sunday's easter egg hunt; filled eggs with candy for the hunt; and took their Easter picture to mail out with easter cards. We'll be going up to my dad's house for Easter again this year. It will be fun though as my sister Jessica and her little family (husband Shon, and baby Elisha - 6 months) are living here now. Jenna loves playing with Eli. Our families are growing so fast!

I remember growing up always hunting for eggs with my cousins and eating lots of delicious food. The family time is the best part. In a way I miss all my family - but then I remember the reason for the celebration. Had it not been for Christ, we wouldn't have the opportunity to know him and there would be no purpose for life in the first place. Anways, if you want to know more about that, just email me...

We have started our own traditions with our own little family. Its nice - we go to church, have the easter egg hunt, then drive up to the lake to spend it with the family up there. We hide confetti eggs, let the little ones "help" us find them and then run around and smash them on each other's heads. Its amazing!! I will be sure to post pictures on Tuesday!!

Only 5 more days until Jenna's first Easter!!
