Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday, we were blessed to have Reid's family in town to celebrate with us.  When Caeden woke up Sunday morning, he went straight to his Easter basket to see what the Easter Bunny had left him! His favorite part...the candy!

Next we all loaded and went to church to CELEBRATE that the cross was not the end of the story!  Jesus has risen and is alive!  We had been doing Resurrection Eggs with Caeden each night for the two weeks leading up to Easter.  He had really been taking in the story of what Jesus had done for us on the cross and that he was now alive!  While we do the Easter Bunny and egg hunts, we always want him to know these are just fun things we do on Easter, but that the real reason we celebrate is because Jesus IS alive!  So glad we got to spend part of the day with our other Christian brothers & sisters celebrating this!  Here are some fun pictures of us all dressed up in our Easter clothes...

After our amazing, filling lunch, we did an Easter egg hunt outside with Caeden & Emerson (my nephew).  Emerson just turned a year old so this was his first egg hunt!

This is Caeden bringing eggs to Emerson...he was trying to "help" him. :)

And these two boys are so busy it's hard to get them in a picture together.

But they're just so darn cute I had to post one picture of them in the same frame!

So here ya go! ;)

After our egg hunt, it was naptime for the kids and relaxation time for the adults.  Then our afternoon closed with good-byes and resting that evening.  It was a fun day, celebrating with our family and I'm so glad Caeden had a cousin to celebrate with this year!  (Next year, he'll have a sibling to celebrate with!!)
