Easter 2011

We had a great time celebrating this Easter holiday with our family on Saturday. We grilled out and then had an Easter egg hunt for the kiddos. Leah really did not know what to think. She just stood there watching all of the others running around. She loved her Easter basket from Gran and Grump, especially the eggs filled with marshmallows.

On Sunday, we went to church and then had a restful afternoon. We didn't get a family picture this year because our family didn't get here until after church and nap time. By then Leah was out of her dress and ready to play. It sure is hard to get a good picture of her now. She's much too interested in running around these days.

We gave her her Easter gift after she woke up from her nap. She was so excited that she literally ran to it. It was quite fun to watch.

We had a great service at church. The music and drama were so moving that I was crying the entire time. Although I find such joy in knowing that Christ conquered sin and death, I understand even more now the sacrifice God made just for me. I'm just so unworthy of that kind of love. Thanks be to Jesus for taking me off the cross where I should be placed as payment for my sins and putting himself there to die in my place.
