This was the first year the boys truly were able to experience the happiness of Easter. The festivities began with an impromptu egg hunt produced by our friend Dan...he came over and nested the eggs in our yard. The boys had a ball and couldn't get to the eggs fast enough. They were just glowing! Gotta just love that the so called Easter baskets they're gathering with--Carrson's was actually his trick-treating bag-- They didn't care. They just ran and searched like wild boys.
Part two of our Easter began with church and then celebrating with Ryan's side of the family.
I must say I'm quite proud listening to Carrson talk about what Easter means. He doesn't miss a beat when tellling his version of the meaning of Easter.
Something like this: "Mom, Jesus died for us. The bad people were killing Jesus and they put him on the what's that called again mom? Cross. Then he was in a tomb for 3 months, I mean 3 days. The ground shook and the stone like a boulder rolled away and JESUS IS ALVE!"
Yes, Jesus is alive!
Although it's refreshing to watch your lil guys chasing after eggs and asking where the bunny is; I'm ever grateful for this day too.
What an amazing God I serve that washes us white as snow. We are no longer chained to sin; by his grace we are free......Oh how he loves US!
