Easter Extravaganza

This Easter was a lot of fun, Ava really figured out the hunting eggs and getting candy very quickly! She did have quite a bit of practice though. We started off with her Easter Egg Hunt at Mother's Day Out. They had to move it inside do to rain but the kids didn't care. Grandma came to town for the weekend and Ava got her first Easter basket of the year filled with all sorts of goodies! Friday we colored eggs with Grandma, Nana, Natalie and Ethan and what we figured would take an hour or two only took about 15 minutes with these two. Saturday we got to attend the Pittman families annual Easter egg hunt. That was a great time with friends, there was more candy than I've ever seen in one place and we finished the night off with yummy fajitas! We got up early before church and gave Ava her Easter basket, then we went to church and spent the afternoon at Nana and Pop's house where the kids got to hunt Easter eggs and got more goodies in their Easter baskets from Nana and Pop. Ava took a little tumble in Sunday School which is why she has a gash across her face in all of her Easter pictures. She did not want anyone to talk about it either, she would sob anytime anyone asked her what happened to her face, poor baby! Thankfully we made it home a few minutes before the never ending hail storm hit and both cars were in the garage so we didn't get too much damage.

It was nice to slow down a bit and refocus at church Sunday morning on what the weekend and celebrating was really about, our risen King! I was once again overwhelmed at just how much He loves us and the extents He went to and goes to everyday to show us His love! It is a love that will forever baffle and awe me! My prayer for my children is that they will know His love for them because when we really know His love for us our only response can be to fall more in love with Him and I pray that He captures their hearts very early on!
