Easter 2012

We had a great Easter beginning with our church egg hunt on Saturday and then having Easter celebrations all day on Sunday. This year I feel like Ivy understood more of the true meaning of Easter than ever before which is so exciting to me. We read through the Easter story in her Children's Bible several times and she had so much to say...
"So he's not still dead??"
"Does he still have nails in his hands?"
"Is he still friends with those boys? (the disciples)"
This is a lot more than she understood last year. I want my children to know that Easter is such a wonderful day that promises so much for us. And I hope that year after year, that becomes clearer to them. Jesus died for us, for you, and for the criminals hanging on the crosses next to him.
His love wins.... every day.... year after year!

Enjoy our Easter weekend in pictures:
