We had an awesome dinner, complete with smoked ham, turkey and stuffing and all the goodies. No pictures of the food but trust me, my dad can smoke a mean ham.
Then on Sunday, we started the day off at church. Well, before that I tried to get a couple pictures of us but that wasn't on the girls list of awesome things to do that day.
Nothing compliments an Easter dress quite like left over tattoos!
Then we went to church and celebrated Jesus' resurrection. After church the husband and I started talking about how Easter should be one of the biggest celebrations ever. Bigger than Valentine's day, Halloween and maybe even Christmas. I mean, Jesus died for us. Every single person, whether they accept it, or Him, or not. But it didn't end there, he conquered the grave! And that's why we celebrate Easter. It seems, at least to us anyways, that this should be a lot bigger deal.
That's why we're planning some changes next year in how we celebrate. We'll still do dinner, egg hunting and all that fun stuff but we also want to do more. I don't know what that will look like in the years to come but I do know that I want Easter to be special because it is.
Okay, back to pictures.
That is not chocolate. It is mud. Great mom, I know.
My grandpa's expression cracks me up here. So many great-grandkids.
Beautiful family! All of them.
ReplyDeleteAs for Easter, you stated my exact feelings. It is my all time favorite holiday - the times I most miss living near family because I don't know a lot of people who want to celebrate it as much as I. Including believers!
That's not chocolate. It is mud. Hahaha! Priceless!!!
ReplyDeleteAre Little One and Sweet P the same age? I was trying to get an idea of how tiny LO was like your sister was saying and its VERYapparent in your picture of the kids standing by grandpa! She's at least a few inches shorter than P! Tiny little thing. Your girls are super sweet and I love that you live close enough to family to let your kids build bonds with their cousins.
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet girls! I agree about Easter being Such a Big deal! Excited to see what you come up with!
