I love Easter Sunday, and all that it represents. It is the day our Lord overcame death and rose from the grave. Nothing can beat that news! How can you not celebrate?!
Our Easter weekend was a little different this year. We were living in an extended stay hotel due to some renovations at our home and it was almost the end of tax season. One of my favorite Easter activities has always been egg dying but that just didn't happen. I've promised the girls we'll do it this summer because we all love it. Anyway, we all were looking forward to a wonderful morning of worship at JFBC. This was Mia's first time to join us in service. She and Lily both listened and sang. It was great to all four worship together.
After church we surprised the girls with their baskets. They were both pretty excited about the assortment. Swim skirts, sunglasses, flip flops, swim goggles, books, legos, movies, jump ropes, flash cards and writing pads were a big hit!
They both set right to work on the new little Lego sets.
Mia tried on her goggles; how adorable is she?
Early afternoon it was time to head over to Robert and Judy's house for a delicious and fun afternoon. It was great to see everyone and catch up. Lee brought a dunk tank this year, and the kids loved it. Mia reminded me multiple times that we need to bring her swimsuit next year so she can get in it! They also had fun playing on the jumpy, playground and four wheelers. Of course, we took a kids' picture just before the egg hunt; somehow Meme snuck into this one, but we were just fine with that!
Both girls had a blast with the egg hunt! Lily found a $5 bill in one of her eggs which led to lots of excitement. Of course, they loved the coins and candy filled ones too.
Showing off their loot!

What a wonderful day filled with worship of our Lord and family!
