Happy Easter

We had a fun filled Easter this year. The weather was amazing and that made the day even better! While it is fun to make Easter baskets, wear new clothes and have eggs hunts (and yes, we did all those things),we want to make sure that Camden knows the reason we celebrate Easter.  None of those things, the egg hunts, the baskets, the clothes will last or satisfy us for long. Jesus died for you and me and rose again. He is the reason why we have hope. That is what Easter is about! 

Camden loved his surprises in his Easter basket, so much so, that he did not want to look for hidden eggs. Much to the dismay of Mr. and Mrs. Bunny who might have had small disagreement while hiding those said eggs the night before....:) 

I have always loved having matching family outfits. Gamma got Camden his new outfit and I loved the bright blue, so it was decided to do blue this year. Just imagine the three of us together because we really did try to get a picture at church, but Little Man was having an out of sorts morning-as you can tell from his grimaces in the above pictures. 

Todd and I have made a very exciting discovery in our deviled eggs making...putting the mixture into a ziploc bag, cutting a small hole and voila-easy peasy filling! 

We had a great time as usual at the Marberry's. Camden just made himself right at home in Homer's chair and said, Cover me up, Mom? Homer and Maybull were all decked out in their Easter finery. It cracks me up that they are completely content to leave all that nonsense on. And yes, you do see an almost life-size chocolate Grand Bunny that Papa Richard thought Camden would just love! Thanks, Papa!

Our last stop of the day was Papa and Gamma's. Camden hunted for eggs with Emily and Nick and he found all three of the eggs with dollars! Many thanks to Aunt Beth for the noise putty in his Easter basket. Above you do see the ever serious, John Melton, trying his hand at making the sounds-that may have been the funniest thing I have seen in a while! I am thankful for a fun day with family, but most of all, I am thankful for the sacrifice my Savior made for me and that He is alive!
