Easter is my absolute favorite holiday for several reasons! The first reason being we are celebrating the resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ!! What an amazing sacrifice that was made for us!! Thanks be to God!! And the music - I LOVE the music on Easter Sunday!! I also love the fact that Easter has managed to not become as commercialized as Christmas. While we were dying eggs this year I asked Conner if he knew the real reason we celebrated Easter. He immediately replied "because Jesus died on the cross and then went to Heaven"!!! I was thrilled because I was truly expecting something related to the Easter bunny. Maybe he listens more than I give him credit for. :) Don't get me wrong I love the Easter bunny just as much as anybody (and still enjoy hiding eggs) but I am desperately trying to teach my children the true meaning of the holidays. Easter also signals the beginning of spring to me, which I absolutely love!!! After being couped up all winter, it always feels so good to get outside and enjoy the pleasant spring days before the sweltering heat of the Mississippi summer arrives. And who doesn't love a good egg hunt (another reason to love Easter!)?
Our Easter Sunday was spent with the family!! We went to church and afterwards there was an Easter egg hunt for the kiddos. It was Ava's first egg hunt!!! She would stand and just point at the eggs!! Once Ron or I picked it up and handed it to her she would stare at it for a minute, drop it in the basket, and point at another. It was TOOOOO funny!!!! Below are a few pictures from our day!
