Easter 2014

I hope everyone had a happy Easter! I was blessed to get to have Easter off this year so we decided to host our families Easter dinner at our house! We had a nice meal, the weather was fantastic, the kids had their baskets, we hunted eggs, and we worshiped. It was amazing to celebrate the real reason for the season. My kids barely spoke of the Easter bunny this year but rather talked about Jesus.

 

Living, He loved me
Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away
Rising, He justified freely forever
One day He's coming
Oh glorious day, oh glorious day

 

A few snap shots from our day and my attempts at getting a family picture.. those rare gems are hard to come by.

 

 

 

We even went and Egged some houses on good Friday! We went around to a few neighbors and hid easter eggs in their yard. The kids had so much fun with this. We decided to knock on their doors afterwards and hand them the little egged note. It was a bunch of fun for the kids and a great way to get the true reason for easter out there. Colton also told everyone "Jesus loves you!" when he gave them their note explaining their egging.

 

 

"Here is what you do. Figure out who's house you want to egg. Buy 10 plastic eggs per house you want to egg. Fill 9 of the eggs with candy or goodies and leave 1 egg Empty! Yes, Empty. Hide the eggs in your neighbors yard and leave behind the printed out note"

 

The note states:

You've been Egged

10 eggs are hidden for you to find

in all different colors, so I hope you don't mind

We want to remind you that Easter is near

and it is a special time of year

for Jesus loved us and died on the cross

so we all could return and not be lost

there is an egg that is empty for a reason

it's simply because Jesus has Risen
