Easter was a packed day for our family. The alarm buzzed at 7am. Jeff had to report to church by 7:30 to rehearse a drama he wrote entitled "MaryAnn"--written to appeal to people who've made church a routine but missing the meaning. It was fabulous! In any case, I was hoping to sleep in, but I live in a house with two kids eagerly awaiting their treats from the Easter Bunny.
I could hear a scurry of footsteps by 7:30. The kids shot out of bed as soon as Jeff left the house and dragged me downstairs to open their baskets.
My friend said Max talked about his new Transformer kite in Sunday school today!
Laney loved her chocolate bunny...and her stretchy flying disk that lights up when you throw it!
I really enjoyed the church service this year. It's such a wonderful reminder of the Lord's incredible grace for us and how we can find purpose in the midst of our sinful lives by knowing Him.
I had the privilege of serving in the welcome center and met fifteen people who were interested in knowing more about how to get more connected to my home church, which was a big blessing. Jeff and I also enjoyed a yummy brunch with our dear Bible study friends.
Max made for a fabulous helper in the kitchen. He and I baked a cornbread casserole to contribute to the brunch. Laney took this picture as we fooled around with butter and sour cream.
Doesn't this look appetizing? Don't worry--I made sure Max washed his hands before baking!
Our host spoiled the kids with even more goodies and we hid eggs in her backyard for the kids to find.
This is Max holding a basket of eggs in the midst of hunting for them. I couldn't get a good shot of Laney because she kept racing around. It was hard to keep up with them--they were very competitive in the hunt. We hid 30 plastic eggs and about 18 hard-boiled eggs!
It was a beautiful day although the weather was confused between spring and winter. It was alternately sunny and snowy...But such is life in the Midwest in March. It doesn't matter anyway. Jeff & I are so beat, we just want to bundle up and call it a night...grateful for family and friends who are just like family...and especially grateful for the grace of our Heavenly Father.
