Easter

Our Easter celebration began with our church egg hunt. The two little ones could hardly wait to fill their baskets. They couldn't get out the door and into the church yard fast enough. Here's Emanuiel pausing for a second to check and see if there was anything inside his eggs.

Clara Beth is carefully choosing just the right ones for her basket, unlike Emanuiel, who ran wild picking up everyone he saw.

She found it much easier to just sit down and pick up the ones all around her.

After our big egg hunt we were off to Land's baseball games. I left the camera in the car so I didn't get any pictures of the game or the little ones having a great time while we watched.
The next few pictures were taken Easter morning before and after church.

Here are the two little ones waiting to go to church. For some reason Emanuiel was not happy with this shirt and told me several times that he did not want to wear it.

Daddy finally talked him into wearing it with the promise that he could take it off after our company left.

This picture was taken after church and Emanuiel was clearly still not happy about his shirt. He said he liked clothes with pictures on them. Clara Beth on the other hand was quite happy with her dress.

This little fellow just makes me laugh, he is so opinionated about things. He is also very loving. When he hugs me, he squeezes my face and says over and over,"I love your face mom"! I love his face too, even if it's not smiling.

Here's dad and the little ones after church. I'll have to say it was a little confusing for these two this year with our Easter celebration. They had a hard time understanding how at Christmas we celebrated baby Jesus and now He was all grown up and we were celebrating His Resurrection. There was a lot of discussion about this and finally Clara Beth said He must have grown so fast because he ate His broccoli! Hmmm... maybe this will help her to eat her broccoli too.

I was able to grab my big guy for an Easter picture. You see I am holding on to him so he won't get away!

Emanuiel finally perked up because the pictures were almost over.

Paul set the timer and we were able to pose for a family shot. Then we hurried into the house because we had twenty guests arriving for Easter lunch and we had to get everything ready! We had a splendid day with family and friends. I hope yours was full of splendor too.

Until next time...

I will mediate about Your glory, splendor, majesty, and miracles.
