We had a fabulous Easter weekend. The older I get, the more I appreciate the traditions, time with family, and what Jesus did for me. Along with maturity comes deep, deep gratitude.
We spent Good Friday going to an Easter party, doing a cross craft, and just enjoying the day off. I love doing all the extra stuff that makes the holidays special. There are so many "normal" days, that I really enjoy making the special ones really stand out. It doesn't always go as planned, but I love being the celebrator of the home.
That night, we went out to eat and to Good Friday service with some friends. Good Friday is so intense, as it should be. What is Easter Sunday without it? The service was powerful.

| Turned out awesome! |

Saturday evening we celebrated at Rod and Bonnie's. It was so much fun, and seeing all the little kids together is just a hoot!
Sunday morning, we went to church. I love Easter morning. It is so glorious! We came home, took naps, died eggs, then headed to Papa and Nana's for more Easter celebrating!

| Next year she will be into it all. This year, she was held captive in her high chair. |

Ruby thinks the feel of grass is just hilarious! And weird.
She will NOT put her foot down on it, standing or sitting... |
 |
| Cute. |
 |
| I love watching my grandma with Ruby. She adores each grandchild, and we all adore her. |
 |
| Won't put that foot down! |
 |
| Me and my baby. Her first Easter. |
And lastly, do you think we got a family picture, or even one of just the kids in their Easter outfits? Of course not. Thank goodness I get their photos taken in their Easter outfits each Spring.
Here they are in all their cuteness (at Voss Studio)...
Happy Resurrection Day, the best day of the year! He brings all things death to life. Live in that truth today!
