Easter Celebration

I hope ya’ll had a wonderful Easter celebrating our Savior’s resurrection! The fact that He rose from the dead changes everything!

 

We had a pretty low-key Easter as a family. It was a little hard thinking about Easters in the past that were celebrated at my Grandma and Grandpa’s house. But we are so grateful for the hope we have in our risen Savior, and that we know we will all be joined together in heaven one day.



Sunday morning we were all up bright and early to do our egg hunt. I think 7:15 a.m. is probably the earliest we’ve ever done our hunt. It’s kind of funny; four of us are teenagers and Josiah is old enough to know the truth about the Easter bunny, but we just can’t give up the egg hunt. J



For breakfast we had coffee cake, bacon, and fruit salad. Then we scrambled to get out the door on time for church!

Church went very well, and we returned home in the early afternoon. We relaxed most of the day and enjoyed the beautiful weather (it was about 80 degrees and sunny.) The weather turned out a lot nicer than we were expecting; we woke up to a thunderstorm and heavy rain that morning. It was still raining when we arrived at church, but then it started to clear up. I took advantage of the day and took Mikey on a walk down the road to the creek. We observed the wood ducks and turtles while listening to the buzzing of insects and the faint whistle of a train. Such a wonderful afternoon! 



We had our fancy Easter feast for dinner. We took the opportunity to use our fine china.

We had delicious honey glazed ham, baked new potatoes, multi-grain crackers with mockamole (guacamole made with sweet peas), jello-beans with whipped cream, and dinner rolls with butter. It was incredibly filling!



For dessert we had a rich grasshopper pie.

And that was our Easter! We are so grateful for all God has blessed us with!
