A Day to Rejoice

Easter is such a day of celebration. We can rejoice and be glad because Christ rose from the grave on this day and is ALIVE! This day gives us reason to celebrate and know that we will have eternal life with Jesus in heaven if we know Him personally. He did so much for us, sinners. It's amazing the love He has for people that do not deserve it. Easter is such a time to celebrate.

We celebrated by being with family at my Papaw's farm. It was such a nice day. We had a train for the kids to ride, Easter egg dying and hunt and of course, some good ole southern cookin'. On Sunday we went to my parents church then home to have supper with Hays' family.

At Christmas we have a birthday cake for Jesus so Olivia will learn the true meaning of Christmas. I think the Easter bunny is great and the eggs and baskets but that does not tell or celebrate the true meaning of Easter. I need to come up with an idea to celebrate the true meaning in a way that Olivia will grasp. If your family has a tradition, leave me comment. I would love to know.

Do you see that bed head?? Someone slept really good!

 Anyone else notice that not a single child in the picture is looking at the camera?? That's just how it goes with little ones.

The train made for a fun afternoon. My cousin, Josh (the driver) made it!

Sweet cousins.
