Easter

Last Easter I was terribly sick. So I feel like this was Fiona's first Easter, even though it really wasn't. We definitely downplay the secular elements of Easter, i.e. none of my kids think there is such a thing as the Easter Bunny. But once a year it's fun to have a little "treasure hunt" that results in deviled eggs for lunch. The kids and I got together with some friends to dye eggs on the Friday before. Yeah, I'm a traditionalist and I just can't stand to use those little plastic eggs. Besides, then how would you get those deviled eggs that we were talking about? I think we all had a good time watching Fiona try to find some of the eggs that I left out in the easy spots. Then I started to get a little worried as I couldn't remember exactly where all the other eggs had been hidden or exactly how many there had been. Pregnant brain!!! Fortunately, they found them all so we didn't have to bring in the egg sniffing hounds.

As always, we had a wonderful time worshiping with our brothers and sisters in Christ. We recognize that every Sunday- even every day- is a day to remember the sacrifice that Christ Jesus made. We are thankful for that sacrifice each day and praise God for his grace and mercy. Still, we like to make a special point to focus on that at Easter. I do apologize for not having a picture of the entire family on Easter- by the time I realized there was no place to put my camera it was too late to drag out the tripod. Maybe next year!
