Happy Easter!

The kids had a fabulous time at the church egg hunt; the weather was PERFECT, and we met up with some out-of-town friends, so it turned out to be a great day.

Entertaining herself while waiting patiently for the egg hunt. During the actual hunt, Leah was so content with the ten or so eggs she initially collected. I actually had to encourage her to get a few more (to reach a dozen). There were even more she could have picked up, but since she didn't want more, I didn't push it. So proud that she was happy with the few she had!

My little tough guy. Funny, though, how NOT so tough he looks with an Easter bunny basket on his head.

Too busy enjoying snowcones to even look at the camera. Prior to this, they had visited the petting farm before roping me into a moonbounce train. They tried going through, but got stuck at the slide, so I went in with them. After that, Hunter took a turn in a regular moonbounce. My little daredevil kept trying to do flips and somersaults.



Modeling their bunny hats. Kinda hard to smile with a mouthful of candy!


Can you see the ice cream cone on her cheek?



"I get to ride on the rainbow pony!"


Leah models her Easter dress and some of the goodies (jewelry) from her basket. Neither Leah nor Hunter expected a basket, so they didn't even ask about one, which was really a blessing. They know the true meaning of Easter, so when we pulled out their baskets at lunchtime, they were genuinely excited and thankful.

And you can't forget the earrings! Well, sticker earrings. She's not quite ready (neither is Daddy!) for the real thing.

Our tomb cake. The kids helped me make this the day before. This, coupled with a hunt for Easter eggs filled with trail mix and a scripture, really helped us celebrate Christ's resurrection and the glorious gift of salvation. He is risen indeed!
