Easter is one of my favorite celebrations of the year. I truly try and reflect the birth of Christ daily, but something about celebrating on Easter brings me great joy. The message at our local church was AMAZING! By the way, if you haven't found a church home and you live locally, come check us out.
Vine Community Church would love to have you!
The night before Easter the kiddos had some fun coloring eggs.
They were amazing troopers on Sunday morning.
We were up @ 5am to attend the sunrise service.
We do have an "easter buny" that comes to our house, but we make sure the kids know the reason we celebrate Easter. We had a wonderful dinner @ my In-laws house, then it was easter egg hunt time!
Love her smile!

Luke 24:1-12 ESV
"But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.” And they remembered his words, and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. Now it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of Jame and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles, but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them. But Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened.
