Celebrating Easter

Our Easter celebration started early Saturday morning with an Easter Egg hunt at church. The little ones were excited as we loaded up the car with our baskets in hand. Emanuiel knew we were about to do something fun, he just didn't know what it was yet...........
It didn't take him long to fill his basket. He ran from place to place tossing eggs here, there, and everywhere in his wake.

Clara Beth, on the other hand, was the more reluctant hunter. She slowly and carefully placed the eggs in her basket.



Then we headed back home to prepare for the gathering at our house on Sunday. We hosted about 35 friends and family members.


On Sunday morning we awoke to a visit from the Easter Bunny!! After checking out each item in the Easter baskets we all got ready for church.




This is the best picture we could get after Emanuiel took a tumble on the sidewalk and got boo boos on both knees!!





Easter egg colored band-aids and some special love from Mei Mei made it all better. Once we were home from church we awaited the arrival of all of our guests!!!






Special Easter decorations were everywhere. These little Easter Lilies are Clara Beth's sweet little hands. She made these at Mrs. Dawn's house.







Here's one of our little Easter Bunnies entertaining our guests!!!









Okay mommy, where's our lunch!!! I hope all of you had a very blessed Easter at your house too!
It's spring break around here and I have to go and pack. We are off to the beach this afternoon to spend time with good friends. We can't wait to get our toes in the sand. It's Emanuiel's first trip to the beach! He is so excited!!!
Until next time...................
Job 9:8 NIV
He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea.
We can't wait to bask in the sunshine and share in God's wonder at the beach!!!
