He is Risen

Sunday morning we woke up and went to our usual gathering place to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  Jase was in the adult choir program this Easter and they performed it during our service on Sunday.  He loves to sing and nothing is better than singing for the Lord!


Here is the last scene that shows Jesus is alive!!  This is the cornerstone of our faith.  Outside of Christianity, all other gods are dead and are simply statues, but we serve a living, powerful God who created the universe and knows every detail about me.  I'm so unworthy of the grace He extends to me.  Thank you Jesus. {Jase is on the bottom left.}


We spent the rest of the afternoon at my mom's house.  We all enjoyed it.  They played indoors and outdoors all day long.




Every year Nanny puts together Easter baskets for the kiddos...spoiled for sure!  They loved all of their goodies.  And Finny got his first taste of some Peeps; he gobbled them up!


My mom has a sleeping mask and Allyson always plays with it when she is over their house.  So, Ally had one in her Easter basket from my mom, it was too funny!! 


My beautiful mother!  So thankful for her and all she does for us!


The kids enjoyed playing with Uncle Shannon and PawPaw all day!  Aunt Alisha joined us a little later that afternoon.  It was a great day!

Easter Egg Hunt

Saturday morning we headed out to our local park for our annual egg hunt with our Church.  Can I just say how precious our little Finn is?!?  Love him to bits! {He is 8 months now!!}


Taking pictures of my own kids drives me curazy sometimes!!  I don't understand why it is so hard to simply look, with your eyes, at the stinkin' camera!?!?  Can you tell we had some issues with this?  Out of 40 pics, this was the best I could get.





Before the hunt, all the kiddos sat down and Mrs. Ashley walked them through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus with the resurrection eggs (I love them!). 





Finn slept through most of the festivities since this was prime time nap time for him!


We stayed a little afterwards and let Jase play some 2-touch football; he loved it!

Resurrection Sunday

What a glorious day!  Resurrection Sunday . . . the reason we, as believers in Christ, have HOPE.  We can celebrate for He is risen (Matthew 28:6)!!  We know that once our life on earth is over, we will have a place to live forever with no more pain or sorrow, and we can hold onto this true promise because Jesus beat death through His resurrection.  Makes me so excited thinking about it and I definitely want everyone to know that this free gift is theirs for the taking as well.

This weekend has been a busy one! Friday we went to a birthday party for Shawn's nephew, yesterday an Easter egg hunt, then a birthday party and this morning was church and then an early dinner at our house.  I am just getting around to downloading pictures and looking at what a fun-filled weekend we had!  This week I'll post pics of our weekend, but below are a few I'll leave you with for now.

Before the pictures though, I have to share this video of Jase retelling Jesus' story of his death, burial and resurrection.  He took my phone upstairs and made a few 10 second videos and then asked me to come up and record him . . . I was honored!  He did such a great job of sharing the story of Jesus and the depth he included.  At 4 years (nearly 5) I am amazed at the details Jase can remember.  Truly blesses my heart that he wants to learn more about Jesus and God's word and is retaining the bible knowledge that he is fed.  The video is about 6 1/2 minutes long, but well worth it!
