Easter

Alive, alive, alive forevermore
My Jesus is alive, alive forevermore
Alive, alive, alive forevermore
My Jesus is alive!

Sing hallelujah, sing hallelujah
My Jesus is alive forevermore
Sing hallelujah, sing hallelujah
My Jesus is alive!

This is the song Megan sang at our church with the children for Easter.  It was so wonderful again to concentrate on Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection this year!  He is alive and has conquered sin and death...Hallelujah!

We had a wonderful week following up to Easter Sunday.  We did a few fun things during the week.  Megan and Emily enjoyed two Easter Egg Hunts the last week.  One was with Parents as Teachers and the other was was with the city.  They LOVED both of them.

Sunday was a very busy day for us as Tim went to our Sunrise Service.  We had an Easter breakfast at church, followed by Sunday School, then the Morning Service.  It was a wonderful day celebrating our Saviour's Resurrection with our church family.  We had a special service in the AM with some monologues from different perspectives on the crucifixion/resurrection (Peter, Thomas, etc.) and some special music to go with that. Following the service, we ate at my mom's house for a delicious lunch.  (Unfortunately, Tim just went home to bed after church as he needed to sleep all afternoon and go to work that night.)  

 Here are a few pictures from Easter Sunday...

Kathy Beaty gave this outfit to us for Anna to wear.  It was a first Easter outfit and the weather on Sunday was perfect for it!  She was so cute!

Emily in her little cute dress.  I believe Auntie KK bought this for Megan a couple of years ago for her Easter dress.  Love it that we can hand down these cute dresses!

Auntie KK bought Megan this dress for her for Easter.  Auntie KK loves her little nieces, and we are all so glad she lives close by!

Justin bought the girls some playdough for them to enjoy and it was a perfect distraction for them until lunch was ready!

My sweet grandparents were able to be with us all weekend!  We LOVED seeing them.  They look so nice!

I love this picture.  Grandma just loves facebook and keeping up with her family.  Her and Grandpa look at it together as Grandpa reads to her the posts and such!  They are too cute!

We are so thankful for Christ's love for us as sinners and His willingness to come into this world as a human and die on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins.
