Easter

We kicked off the celebration of Easter with Miller's Mother's Day Out parties on Wednesday and Thursday.

Friday we moved into our rental house.  Whew.  Thank goodness for Two Men and a Truck and all of our family that helped out.  That night Bryant and I went to the Secret Church simulcast our church hosted.  We kind of had to drag ourselves there since we were so exhausted, but once we got there we were so glad we went.  It was an incredible time of Bible study and we look forward to the next one!  If you ever have the opportunity to go, you definitely should!

The next morning {Saturday}, Mom and I took Miller to our church's Easter Egg Hunt.  Our children's minister, Melanie, had so many fun activities set up for the kids to do while they waited on the egg hunt.

Time for the preschoolers to hunt!

Melanie shared the Easter story with the kids using Resurrection Eggs.  Miller was the best listener. {Did you catch the sarcasm?}

Sunday morning it was time to worship our risen Savior!  We of course tried to tell Miller the Easter story, but given the fact he has no concept of life and death he was pretty clueless.  I look forward to the day when he will understand the amazing gift of Christ's death and the importance of His resurrection.  He was excited about putting flowers on the cross and kept saying, "I put flowers on for Jesus."  So at least he knew Easter isn't just about egg hunts.

After church we went to Nana and Papa Frank's house for lunch.  It was a feast and a wonderful change from the fast food we'd been eating for a week straight while we moved!

After lunch we had another egg hunt and enjoyed the beautiful day.

 

Poor Miller only found a few eggs.

 Last but not least it was time for Easter baskets from Nana and Papa Frank.

Easter this year was certainly hectic with the move, but it was special none the less.  I hope you and your family had a wonderful Easter, too!
