Easter is a very big deal in my family. For more reasons then just the bunny that comes and brings baskets full of candy and eggs full of money. It's because it is the celebration of our Savior who triumphed over death on this day for our sins. If you have never heard about Jesus Christ, I would really like to tell you His story.
We attended our church's "Son" rise service this morning at 7:00 am. It was a brisk 28 - 32 degrees. The wind blew just enough to make it nippy. That did not deter us though. Marty was there at 6:00 am to help with set up and the girls and I got there at 6:30 am to do the Children's Ministry set up.
The children's choir sang "Where you there?" and "He Gave". It was so very beautiful to hear.
After this we made our rounds to visit our family. First stop was breakfast with Grandma, Pop and Aunt Norma at Golden Corral, where the girls promptly received a basket a piece from Grandma and one from Aunt Norma. The goodies were abound.
Next stop was NoNo's house where we helped finish cooking lunch before we headed off to Uncle Ronnie's and Aunt TJ's house. There the girls received a basket a piece from NoNo, but it doesn't end there, the girls went on a special easter egg hunt created just for them by their older cousin Bryce. MORE candy.
Now don't think I'm not very glad to see that our family goes the extra mile for my girls, but the dentist and doctor bills are going to enourmous if their allowed to eat this mountain of candy.

No comments... ha!
Well, now you can't say that. Of course, I don't see you leaving comments either!
I'll talk to Ray tomorrow to see about Friday (ha!). Since the sponsor is supposed to help the spouse of his pilgrim out in any way possible, I'll hand over two kids, some diapers, and a paint brush with some paint. That will keep him busy!
