Easter Sunday

This last Easter we went to church, and then had Grampy, who was visiting from California, over in the afternoon for a yummy brunch. We did an egg hunt outside (which our neighbors hid for us) after eating and visited until it was time for him to leave.  Afterword, we drove to our friend's house for a dinner potluck.

Our Grace Garden on the eve before Easter. We thought it was cool how the sun was hitting the rock and reflected the cross.
4 siblings---out of now 5! :)
Yummy brunch included crepes, egg casserole, hard boiled eggs, and sparkling cider
I still do egg hunts! ;)



Counting and opening eggs
Our whole family---then! :)
Grampy with his grandkids
And he said to them, “Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen; He is not here; behold, here is the place where they laid Him. -Mark 16:6
