Happy Easter!

We have celebrated Easter for a solid week! Between egg hunts at school and church and all of our other traditions, we can safely say we did it up right. So much fun with the kids at these ages. And so special too. They are trying to wrap their minds around why we celebrate Easter and it is so precious to hear their genuine questions about Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection and to see them try to grasp the magnitude of God's love for them. Goodness, I'm still trying to understand it all myself! :)

Brantlee and Fischer had their party at school on Wednesday. This was also Mrs. Freeman's birthday, so it was an extra special day!

Group birthday hug! This class of children is so precious and this school year has been such a blessing!

We threw some egg dyeing in on Wednesday also.

Thursday was Collin's party/egg hunt for K5.

It was a perfect spring day!

Friday night we made the good ole' bunny cake. It's a staple on Easter day and has been since I was little.

Rewind one week and we had our church egg hunt. The kids had indoor jumps and snacks. The rain held off for some egg hunting.

Sweet cousins :)

Easter morning we enjoyed some goodies from our baskets. We didn't have too much time to relax because we had an 8 o'clock service at church! We (somehow) made it to the service on time. It was a beautiful service and we enjoyed a church-wide breakfast right after.

Later that afternoon we had our traditional family Easter dinner at Lolly and Poppy's. We had a huge group of people, and it was simply fabulous!! We quickly hunted eggs before the rain started. All the kids had a blast, the food was wonderful and so was the company.

Collin wore these bunny ears the ENTIRE party. 

Our sweet Ty's very first Easter. 

All 10 great grands!

We have had such a wonderful week celebrating our Risen Savior!! 

Thank you Jesus!
