Easter Sunday

We enjoyed a great Easter Sunday! We started the morning off with the kids looking for their Easter baskets.. they were so excited to find them! I purposefully put very little candy in their baskets because I knew they would probably be getting more than enough throughout the day... and I was right (thanks to you know who... Grandma and Nana...but I guess that is their job ! :) )

After church, we went to a huge easter egg hunt that our church organized at the park. Thanks to many volunteers and church staff .. they had 6,000 eggs for the kids to "hunt". They seperated the children based on age and then it was free for all! Our kids loved it!

We then headed to grandma and grandpas' for Easter dinner! It was nice to be with Shawn's parents and my mom and her husband, Mike. Several of our friends and their families joined us as well! We had 15 adults and 8 children... made for a crazy and adventurous day!! We even celebrated through the earthquake and had no idea it had even happened! :)

We did a easter egg hunt for the kids and the adults participated in our annual Egg Toss ( a family tradition that I am determined to keep alive!!! Sad to say we did not have a winner... we all tied!)

A wonderful day... but best of all... celebrating the Ressurection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

So thankful that because of the work of the cross and because He Lives.. we can too!
