Easter Sunday

This year Easter was just such a wonderful day! We prepared by reading the story of Holy Week. Even though Evan doesn't quite grasp the Lord's resurrection...he understood the importance of the day. And both Evan and Libby seemed to know how special the day is by displaying excellent behavior. And all Evan could talk about for days was the blessing by Father Archie sprinkling the congregation. He LOVED it!!

After church, Pa, Nana and Grandma headed north for Easter dinner. Afterward we had an Easter egg hunt in the back yard. Evan loved dying the Easter eggs and was very serious about tracking down all of the eggs. And he enjoyed it so much we had to do it twice.

We didn't get too many pictures, but I thought the ones we got were really good.











I am so glad we are starting our own Easter traditions. Easter is such a hard and bittersweet day for all of the family...we lost Julia just a couple of hours after Easter dinner six years ago. So while it is a day of celebration, it is also the days our lives changed forever. Seeing the joy on my children's faces helped make Easter the day of joy it should be.
