This year our Easter celebration looked a little different than most years, but it was still a special time of remembering what The Lord did for us on the Cross, and what happened 3 days later when he rose from the grave.
We started the celebrations with an Easter egg hunt at Hannah's school. I went up early and hid the eggs with some of the other moms. It definitely took them half the time to find them. It was great to see their sweet smiling faces as they found each special egg.
We decided to take advantage of the long weekend and go camping with our dear friends, The Hendersons! Of course it was a great weekend, full of fun times, and some Easter traditions, too.
Egg dying!
It was a fun time watching their different ways of decorating and dying their eggs. Each child is unique!
Later that day we decided to have an easter egg hunt! We were scared it might rain on Easter Sunday, so we did it Saturday instead.
Campsites offer many great places for hiding eggs! It was a race to find each one.
Hammock time is always a hit!
We also celebrated our favorite little 4 year olds! This trip fell right in between their birthdays, so it worked out perfectly. Happy Birthday sweet girls!
The "big" kids!
Our fun group of sweet kiddos!
Our Tex, he's not feeling great, but he still enjoys camping more than anything!
The week before Easter our great town had an Easter egg hunt. I had to train that morning at CG, so Carl took the kids to the pankcake breakfast and then I made it just in time for the hunt.
Found one!
Even the Easter bunny came out for the fun, and all of the kids happily sat with him! Hannah said that his fur was very very soft.

I am so thankful the sweet memories we made this Easter, but even more I am thankful for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
