He is Risen INDEED!

We had a great time celebrating the Resurrection with my parents. They came on Good Friday and left after church Sunday. We colored eggs, did an Egg Hunt, had a girls tea party while the guys went to the gun range, had yummy food, ate way too much, and watched some great movies to get us in the frame of mind for Easter (if you haven't seen Louie Giglio's "Indescribable" and "How Great is Our God," you've GOTTA see them!)

Here's Ally Beth and Grammy making one of Easter desserts.
Big Daddy bought the kids chocolate bunnies. His favorite part is the head and here are the kids about to bite off their bunny heads. Big Daddy is acting shocked! The kids thought it was hilarious. Now, they say that eating the head is the best part.
Instead of the traditional dyeing of eggs, the kids colored theirs. Blane used markers and Ally Beth did water colors. Here is one of Blane's eggs.Caleb didn't want to hunt eggs. He just wanted to put them in his mouth!
Here are the kids on the porch Sunday morning before church. It was a cold morning!
my mom got Caleb a singing/hopping bunny that is ADORABLE! Caleb was entranced...after he got over the initial shock! The first time we played it for him, he didn't know what to think. Towards the end of the song, he accidentally kicked the bunny and it fell on his foot and TERRIFIED him. It was pretty amusing to us adults!

Hope you all had a blessed Easter full of the joy of our Risen Lord!
