Easter: Part 4 The "Official" One

Well, we certainly have stretched out our Easter celebration(s) this year. And today was another wonderful day of remembering our risen Savior.

We started the day with seeing what treats the Easter bunny had left in the girls' baskets.

There was quite a bit of money for their piggie banks in some of the eggs.
Then it was time to get ready for worship. Our girls look so beautiful in their new dresses!

We chose to spend this Sunday morning with my parents congregation, followed by my parents and brother joining us for lunch at our house.

Of course, there has to be an egg hunt, and Grandy was kind enough to take egg hiding duty. Ella and Emma insisted on hiding the eggs for Mommy and Grandy too. When it was our turn to find the eggs,they quickly took Grandy by the hand and started showing him where all the eggs were. They didn't seem to care if I found any eggs or not. I found that rather humorous.

After all the egg hunting was complete, a uncle Newton got some of the biggest smiles send giggles of the day by swinging the girls 6 feet up in the air.

We went to our regular congregation for evening worship services. Memaw and Datt had brought the girls new Easter baskets with bunnies and candy.

What a great day, made all the better by the celebration of Jesus and his ultimate sacrifice on the cross followed by the conquering of death allowing us the chance to live with him in glory someday!
