Zephaniah 3:17 NLT

For the LORD your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With His love, He will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.

Easter 2011

I love Easter. The older I get, the more I appreciate the significance of the day. I am so thankful that my Jesus loves me enough to choose to die for me and that the grave could not hold Him!

And I love sharing special occasions with my kids. They make everything in life so much more fun! Here they are having a practice egghunt on Saturday. Carter wanted to keep hiding them and hunting them again, but Evyn cried when I took the eggs out of her basket.

The cousins came over and we colored Easter eggs and stuffed plastic ones with candy. We all had pizza and then went to the park for the great egghunt. Here are five pretty excited kids!


On your mark, get set, GO!


Carter looks so much older to me lately. Maybe that is part of the reason that I savor everything about him that still feels like a little boy. Look at how ridiculously happy he is to have a wicker Easter basket and eggs to hunt.


And this little girl is pure sunshine and happiness. Unless you take her eggs away from her.


Carter took a break from hunting eggs to climb a tree. Evyn helped herself to the contents of his basket. Classic move, sister!


All dressed up and ready for Sunday morning.




I am not sure if she had too much sugar or was just exceptionally giggly tonight, but she was cracking up at me while I pretended not to be able to open an Easter egg. Look at that beautiful smile!
