Easter 2011

Happy Easter!!!

It was such a beautiful day and we had a wonderful time celebrating our Risen Savior with friends and our church family!

I caught this cute picture of Emma Claire hanging out with her buddies, Anna Kate & Abby Lyon, on the curb at church. Aren't they cute in their hat and gloves!?

 Emma Claire also found another one of the buddies, Lana Davis!

After church with ate a yummy lunch with a couple of our friends at CiCi's Pizza and then headed home to give the kids their spring baskets. (Thanks, RaRa, for all the loot!)

Top Right: I just loved Camp's Easter eggs and will definitely be saving them for next year!
Bottom Right: Emma Claire couldn't take her eyes off the window when Benjamin went outside to hide the eggs. She was so excited!

Camp loves wearing hats and I could just eat him up when he does! SOOOOO cute.

Top Left: Somehow an Easter Egg got up in the bird feeder!

Bottom Right: Our buddies, Shane & Alicia Shaddix came over to enjoy the beautiful day with us. It was fun to share the fun of our egg hunt with them.

Bottom Left: I love this picture of Camp because I know exactly what he is saying. He constantly calls for his 'Da' and in this picture that is exactly who he is calling.

I can't believe that spring is already here but I LOVE it! We have spent most of our days with our windows open enjoying all of this beautiful weather, minus the pollen. : ) We've been out of school for 14 days and are getting geared up to start back tomorrow! Although I'm ready to get back in our routine I sure will miss these lazy days we have been having!

For the past week Emma Claire has been singing the following song any time she gets a chance. I think the words sum up the complete meaning of Easter for us!

Christ Has Risen by Matt Maher

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave


O death, where is your sting?
O hell, where is your victory?
O church, come stand in the light
The glory of God has defeated the night
O death, where is your sting?
O hell, where is your victory?
O church, come stand in the light
Our God is not dead, He's alive, He's alive


Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave
