Happy Easter 2011

Happy Easter!  This is my favorite holiday because it is so much more than candy and the Easter bunny.  This is a special time to remember what Christ did for us.  
Mark 16:5-7 5 When they entered the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a white robe sitting on the right side. The women were shocked, 6 but the angel said, “Don’t be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Look, this is where they laid his body. 7 Now go and tell his disciples, including Peter, that Jesus is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you before he died.” 


This also a special time for our family as we celebrate our first Easter with Kimberly.  We had a great weekend.  On Good Friday the kids were out of school so I took them to the Discovery Center where we caught minnows and enjoyed the baby ducks and other critters on the boardwalk around the wetlands.  On Saturday we watched Reed's team play.  That evening we read the crucifixion and resurrection story in the bible and made Resurrection Rolls. (Delicious!)  This morning we served and worshiped at Lifepoint Stewart's Creek Campus.  After a yummy lunch we hid, yes actually hid, eggs for the kids to find.  It was so fun.  It didn't take Kimberly long to figure out that there were M&Ms inside.  That girl is so funny.  Cate & Reed had a good time searching for the eggs.

Easter 2010

Cate kept saying, "This is a really fun day."
We did have a lot of fun this Easter weekend.


We colored eggs on Friday.

On Saturday we went to the RSC Easter Carnival.

Our small group had a Painting Station set up for everyone.


The Easter Bunny made an appearance.



The kids filled their buckets at the egg hunt.


The night before Easter we made the Easter Story Cookies
and read the scripture.
On Sunday morning we opened the oven/tomb and here are the cookies.


The eggs we decorated were yummy for Easter dinner.

Happy Easta'!!!

We had a great time this weekend doing lots of things
that usually go along with the Easter season.



We decorated eggs.


Flat Cate joined in on the fun.


Our eggs turned out to look like various Star Wars characters.


We went to our Easter Carnival at church.


We watched The Easter Promise and squealed over what we found in our baskets. But best of all we were reminded of the sacrifice that Jesus made for each of us. Remember that Jesus died for you. But three days later He arose from the dead. He is alive and wants to have a personal relationship with you. To find out more about how to know Jesus click here.
