Easter-2011

Our Easter celebration started with baking :)

Then church, which was amazing AND we we sang some of my very favorite songs! Bonus!

Then home for more traditions.

The Easter bunny has been very creative over the years. For a while, he hid little gifts and there were pictures/clues to guide the very little kids to the gift. Then, as the kids got older, there were rhymes in eggs to guide them. Lately, however, the Easter bunny has taken to fitting all the gifts into their baskets and setting up an elaborate treasure hunt!

The hunt begins upon entering the house:
 The clues had them all over the house! There were times when I heard breathlessness!


 The final clue was a word puzzle :)
 And they were rewarded for their efforts!
 There was lots of laughing and running. They had so. much. fun. We have a hard-working Easter bunny ;)
 My mom and dad joined us for church and all the after stuff :)
 A quick one of all of us:
 We had another guest this year too. Jon joined us! He and Kristen came right after church so they didn't miss any of our fun.

I think he's used to my camera ;)
 Isn't that a good picture?
We had a wonderful day with family! Even though some of our traditions are....frivolous...we are all very aware of the reason we celebrate this very important day. Resurrection Day.

"You are stronger, You are stronger, 
sin is broken, 
You have saved me. 
It is written, Christ is risen. 
Jesus, You are Lord of all!"
