Christ the Lord is Risen!!

Easter is a time to celebrate what Christ did for us on the cross. Alleluia!!

Time spent with family is especially fun on this wonderful day. The sky is blue and the sun is shining. Michelle found all but two of the 65 eggs that I hid for her inside the house and out in the yard. She so enjoys this tradition that today before we had lunch with J's parents, she began the hunt for the eggs. It is so fun to see her get excited about something so simple to do. There were no big surprises of candy in the eggs this year. Instead I filled them with words of encouragement. Hopefully she and J will read through them and receive the blessing that is meant for them to receive.

Yesterday was spent at J and Michelle's house with Eme and Jon with Eko (their puppy); Melanie and her girls; Mary and her girls and grandkids; along with J's cousin Scott and his little boy. After lunch the kids went on a hunt for the eggs that Michelle had Ashley and Kylee hide in the yard and house. When the little ones were finished a couple of the adults went to find the ones left behind. What fun to spend time with family.

Happy Easter to all family and friends both near and far.
