Happy Easter

Happy Easter!!! We hope you all had a wonderful Easter...we sure did! I LOVE Easter and I am so thankful that God gave his only son to die on a cross so that I can have eternal life in heaven! I can not even imagine the sacrifice he made, by giving his son to die for me and you! I am sooo thankful that he did and can't wait to teach this little girl that Easter really has nothing to do with Easter bunnies and egg hunts but has everything to do with Jesus dying on a cross and rising again for her!!! Wow...thank you Jesus!!!! I really have been wondering this year where did the Easter bunny and egg hunts come from....what do they really have to do with Easter?? We did have fun celebrating the day with them though!! =) I'm not saying we won't have egg hunts and the Easter bunny, because we will, but I'm just not sure how that came to be or what it has to do with Easter and I will be sure to teach Avery what this day really is all about!!

Avery checking out what the Easter bunny brought for her!
Loving her new Dora paint book!
All dressed up and ready for church! This is what our little ham does when I ask her to smile!!

This is soooo Avery! She put her Easter basket around her neck and said "look it is like a drum, I am in a marching band!" She is always singing, marching, dancing, playing the drums or something!
Our little family of three....not for long!
So excited looking for eggs! She was running and screaming! Every time she found a egg she would say "look, there is one, I got one!" She wanted to stop and open each one right away! You can tell she was an only child out there hunting eggs! I remember with my cousins every year, you didn't dare stop for anything....you got as many eggs as you could while running and pushing people out of the way! This is her last year for a solo egg hunt though...she will learn how to do it next year when you have some competition! =)
"Look mommy, I got one!"


Showing us all of the eggs she got!
Checking to see what was in this one!

Another Easter present! They just kept coming!
Even Nana and Dillon came by with a basket full of goodies!!! Avery is a blessed little girl! Easter started to look a little like Christmas by the end of the day!

We had a wonderful Easter full of church, family and good food....couldn't ask for a better day!!!
