Easter...

We had lots of fun activities this Easter season!  This is my favorite holiday for many reasons - but most importantly that it is a time of the year to stop, reflect on, and remember the death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 

Samford held an alumni Easter egg hunt that was really a lot of fun!  I love being back on that campus any time I have the opportunity.  I must admit, I'm a little jealous that my dad gets to be up there every day now.  Thankfully it is just down the road from where we live so I plan on making many more stops in the near future!






Our next activity was Valleydale's Easter Egg Hunt.  This was a blast last year so I was so excited to go back with the kids a year older and watch them have fun!  I truly do love our church and the community the Lord has blessed us with there. 


 

With Graham being on a church staff, it makes doing a family lunch on Easter pretty difficult.  This year we decided to do a dinner the night before - it was perfect! 


Every year, Dad hides eggs in their yard for the kids to find. It's always fun for the kids to find the surprises inside the eggs!










We spent a lot of time this year talking with Watson and Emma about what we are really celebrating on Easter.  I love seeing Watson truly starting to get it all!  We still have lots of explaining to do...he is currently convinced that every cross he sees is where Jesus died... 

HAPPY EASTER!  HE IS RISEN!
