Easter

HAPPY EASTER

We all met at Don and Janine's house before going to church. We took a bunch of pictures which I am sure bugged the kids after awhile. My camera was on the wrong setting so a bunch of my pictures did not turn out. I have to get the files from Janine or Brian but these will do until then.

It was a wonderful morning and the day was even more special when we went to church together. It was wonderful to sing songs and hear a message about our Risen Lord.

Easter Morning

Ready for Lauren to wake up!!

Finally the pillow pet she has wanted.

Egg hunt time.


All done and time to get ready for church.

We began Easter morning with the basket ready for Lauren to unpack. She was thrilled with all the items she got but the best was the pillow pet she has wanted since Christmas. She was so happy. Lauren then has a small egg hunt in the house. We started this last year and it is a fun way to start the day.

Coloring Easter Eggs

Saturday afternoon Lauren and I went over to Don and Janine's home to color Easter eggs and to have fun evening. Sammie and Jacob were not able to come and Blaire was at another party so it was a small group but we had a great time.

Signs of Easter

When Easter comes I try to get the house ready. We only have a few decorations but they always add a little Easter spirit to the house. Of course it always look great when the Easter basket is full of fun items waiting for Lauren to discover the treasures.

Palm Sunday

Ready for church


Singing in Church this morning.

Silk tie egg dying
Beautiful eggs.

This morning in church the1st - 4th grade classes sang in front of church. It was hard to get a good picture but I tried.

After church we dyed eggs using silk ties. I had read about this and wanted to try it out. Yesterday we went to some thrift stores and got some silk ties. We then cut them and put them around the eggs and boil them. It was fun to unwrap them and see how they turned out. They are so pretty. I am sure we will try this again sometime.
