Happy Easter!

I woke to bright sunshine streaming through my window.  It was the perfect way to welcome Easter.  

When the kids finally rolled out of bed about an hour later, we had a little egg hunt in the backyard.  Jon decided to have them search one at a time for ten second intervals.  When the timer went off, the had to stop until their turn came around again.  It was great fun!

Away Natty speeds in a blur:

Then Lys and her untamed locks:

And finally Caleb.  Just look at that bed-head running, two eggs in each hand:

When all the eggs had been collected, they took them inside to inspect their contents.

Caleb came away with $10!

They cleaned up nicely for church.  A Handsome crew, though one among them desperately needs a haircut.  Not naming any names.

Beautiful girls in new Easter dresses:

Jon says this shot typifies them perfectly:

Alyssa deviled the eggs while Nat made Happy Easter cards for the dinner plates.  Then we stuffed our bellies with delicious food, discussing why Easter is important to us between bites.  We shared lessons learned from church meetings and blessings we enjoy because of Him.  What a splendid day.

Happy Easter!
