Christ has Risen Indeed! Alleluia!

Its definitely a great day and a day of celebration to remember the true reason of Easter! Jesus Christ has risen indeed!  Alleluia!  One of my most favorite holiday's is today and its such a beautiful day also!  Couldn't ask for anything better but a day filled with family, food, and fun!

It has been a weekend celebration actually!  The festivities started yesterday with our annual Easter Village at church!  Some of the fun activities included a puppet show, egg decorating, egg hunt and cookie making.  

Then we came home to dye Easter eggs with Grandma and Denali!

Bryleigh and I cuddled because she was one tired girl!

The finished products!

Before bedtime last night,  Christian reminded me that we had to leave his pretty purple egg for the Easter Bunny!

 And Christian insisted that we leave him this note!  Oh how I love the thinking of a 3 year old!  I was just the transcriber but he thought of the note himself :)

And bright and early at 6:00 this morning, Christian runs into the bedroom to inform me that the Easter Bunny ate his purple egg!   So we decided to get up and see what the Easter Bunny had brought! 

Don't you love my kids,  they are always so interested in the food!

 And then we attempted to get some pictures before church but it was too early of morning it appears!

Along with Easter, we also get to celebrate our foster sister's baptism today!  The Lord sure has blessed us!  

 

And after a quick nap, we headed over to my Grandparents for Lunch!   Unfortunately my mom came down with a bug this weekend and she wasn't able to join us.  We sure did miss her! 

Christian was not a happy camper which usually happens after he is woken up from a nap, but he did cheer up after we announced the Easter Egg Hunt was going to begin!

We didn't waste anytime and headed over to the other Grandparents house for more baskets and egg hunts!

And after a fun filled day we were all ready to come home and get ready for bed, but not before the kids enjoyed putting their money in their piggy banks!  

I hope everyone had as great of an Easter as we did!
