He Is Risen

This Easter weekend we were able to witness a baptism at church. It brought tears to my eyes, baptisms usually do, but I thought it was extra special on Easter. We also had a wonderful lunch planned for Sunday afternoon with some of our family.

We did some group pictures before we got the food going. We had so much great food I was almost sick from eating so much.

After food, we colored some eggs with the kids. We tried to do them in shifts. First the boys.



Then the girls

We ended up coloring 28 eggs. They turned out pretty.

After the eggs dried we took them outside, with 72 plastic eggs, for an egg hunt.

We made the older ones skip the really easy ones for the three younger kids. They did such a good job the younger ones had theirs really fast.

This is what you do when you are too old for an egg hunt. You supervise from a good chair!

I was totally exhausted when we left to go home, but it was a good tired. It was a great way to celebrate Easter.
