Easter

Easter is a time that we celebrate our risen Savior and His magnificent power over death...the grave could not hold Him. We love doing the ‘Resurrection Eggs’ from Lifeway each Easter morning and finding that the last egg is empty, representing Christ’s empty tomb.

We also enjoyed a visit from the Easter bunny...please don’t judge that the 3rd child was consuming a whole chocolate bunny before 7am 🙈 She ran into our bedroom as 6:30am yelling with such JOY ‘the Easter bunny came’ and proceeded to wake the rest of the house up to spread the news. This reminds me so much of the story of the Resurrection that we read in Matthew 28 and the excitement they must have felt when they approached the empty tomb where the stone had been rolled away and the angel telling them ‘He is not here, He is RISEN!’ and running to tell everyone. Oh the joy and excitement!

The big kids have always been so sweet to hold the basket as Ellie searches the house for all of the eggs the Easter bunny hid for her.
