My mom was in town for Easter and it was really nice, even more so with Steven being gone. We went to church that morning, came home and put the little one down for a nap, had a couple friends over, ate some yummy food and did a couple easter egg hunts for Ellie (inside and outside). Watching her find the eggs, put them in the basket and then continue to play with them has been adorable. It was a great blessed day.
Holidays are so much more fun with kids and this holiday is especially more meaningful. And I'm not talking about the easter eggs and candy, etc. Those are certainly yummy and we get more of that stuff now that we have a kid. BUT, I'm talking about what this holiday is representing. The amazing love of a Father that was shown to us. I really look forward to teaching Ellie what Easter truly means!
"All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation, and we have a priceless inheritance - an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay." - 1 Peter 1:3-4
^^ the bunnies she got were a hit; they got lots of loves

^^ she wasn't too sure about the hunt outside (it was a little chilly)
^^ she wanted to hold her bunny while she had her milk. So sweet!
