Easter 2012

The Easter bunny left Wyatt and Hannah Claire both a basket filled with all sorts of goodies.  They both even had a toy that didn't fit in the their baskets.  

Hannah Claire may be end up being like her mom before it is all said and done.  She got up but only made it to the top of the stairs where she laid down for a rest.  

Once we got her moving she saw the baskets and was super excited!

Wyatt took no time making his way over to his basket. 

Both kids loved their Dr. Seuss books.

We get this look from Wyatt all the time.  Little man!

I love this picture!  They both look shocked.  Who knows what was actually happening.

So much for getting a cute Easter morning picture.

Next it was time to find all the eggs that had been hidden.  HC loved it but Wyatt was not that concerned about our silly games.

We do participate in the fun of holidays but we try our best to remember the real reason for our celebration.  We sat down to read the resurrection from the Bible.  After that Hannah Claire and I made some resurrection rolls.  It was fun but we may have been a little early.  When we discussed the empty tomb following our rolls experiment, HC would say "when they opened the tomb the marshmallow was gone".  Maybe next year.

We did enjoy some beautiful tulips (my favorite) thanks to Shane!

Joe Bill came over for a visit that afternoon.  It was great since it was the first time he and Wyatt had met.  They hit it off immediately.

Hannah Claire could not miss out on some loving.

Joe Bill even hung around to watch some serious egg hunting.  We missed Mawmaw Jeannie but we did enjoy having him here.

The egg hunting got pretty intense around our house and everyone was involved, including the youngest.

There might have been some taunting when eggs were found.

There might have been some pouting when Mom beat someone to an egg.

There was plenty of running to find the next egg. 

While we enjoy the fun of the holidays we are so very thankful for the ultimate sacrifice that was made for all of us.  We celebrate because no tomb could hold our Savior!  Do you know Him?  He knows you.  He loves you.  He paid the ultimate price for our sins.
