Resurrection Sunday

We had a lovely Easter yesterday.  The morning started out with an incredible church service at Reliance where we were blessed to witness a lot of people dedicate their lives to Jesus for the first time and others who were re-dedicating their lives.  It was a beautiful sight to see all those people come forward!

After church we headed over to Nick and Sara's for an Easter lunch and egg hunt.


Travis and Cody were almost matching in their Easter outfits.


The highlight of the afternoon is definitely the egg hunt.  It takes a little while for the little ones to realize what is going on, but once they get it, they have the time of their lives!


Lyla hunting for eggs.


Counting up the loot.  Nia was the winner with a total of 13 eggs.


And then we got to dig into some dessert!  I made the coconut cake and decorated with bunny peeps.  My mother-in-law, Cheryl, made the cherry pie with the cross cut-out.


It was a wonderful day spent celebrating our Risen Lord.  "...looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:2
