He has Risen!

What a joyful time of year remembering what Christ has done for us! Because He Lives, we can face tomorrow! Because He Lives, all fear is gone! Because I know He holds the future! All because He Lives!
Praise the Lord!

A little recap of our time of celebration...
Stuffing eggs for the Eggstravaganza!



Fun at the Eggstravaganza!



Palm Sunday...the kids also sang in church on this day, but I videoed using the old-fashioned camcorder!


Easter Sunday! My mom sent my kids some baskets full of goodies! Makenna had a little fever, so she was not feeling all that great. We celebrated at my brother's house with a BBQ.






The kids helped dad make dinner that night...fun and messy!

Biscuits and the Resurrection!

Our morning of making biscuits turned into a lesson about Christ's resurrection. After choosing the cross, gingerbread man, and heart to cut out our biscuits, the story began to unfold. We made the gingerbread man to represent Jesus and the hearts to represent "God's love" (spoken by Katelyn.) It was a wonderful time to talk to my children about what happens after the crucifixion. It was a joyful time to explain the true meaning of Easter. God is so good!
