While the most important reason we celebrate Easter is Jesus, there's still fun for the children with the egg hunting. The church had their annual egg hunt on Palm Sunday afternoon after a morning of storms and rain. The eggs were "hidden" in the parking lot of the church but fun for the kids nonetheless. The Grandbaby liked the eggs but I found it funny that she would shake them to see if they made a sound with their contents before choosing them. And, as Peppa Pig, she loves "muddy puddles"!
Easter morning's new tradition at my house is breakfast after the sunrise service. This year I entertained eleven at my tables. After the food, I had a few eggs for The Grandbaby to hunt. These, too, were hidden on the concrete and around the cars as the grass was wet. The weather was a bit nippy, too, but a good time was had by all.
The Grandbaby plays mostly with vintage toys at my house. The Fisher Price binoculars around her neck are at least 34 years old. Just sayin'....She does love them....
This year she was a really big girl...potty-trained AND standing alone in her family picture.
After getting to church, our family took some quick dressed up photos before church began. The "bracelets" around her wrist are actually ponytail scrunchies that were in a couple of her Easter eggs she found a couple of hours before. They didn't match the pretty bunny dress, but The Girl has learned which battles to fight. Scrunchies around the wrist on Easter was not a battle worth fighting, even if they don't match. Unmatching scrunchies around the wrist on Easter morning don't deter the joy of the resurrection.
It's becoming equally hard for The Poppa and The Grandbaby to provide normal faces during photos but I will keep them both anyways.
Yes, blessings abound this Easter season in so many forms. Hallelujah, He arose and still reigns! We still hunted eggs and took family photos. The new life of the world around us has burst forth this spring season. I will end with a few pictures that I love of the new spring life.
I. Am. Blessed.
