Yeah! We got an Easter miracle today! For the first time in a very long time it was nice today. Nice as the weather was nice. We got to go outside and hide our eggs! That never happens and when it does it's freezing. So I was grateful to the man upstairs for providing us with a lovely day. We hid eggs, played outside, and went for a bike ride.
This morning the children were up nice and early. You would have thought it was Christmas instead of Easter when they got up before 5:00 wanting to find their baskets. We sent them back off to bed only to be woken up an hour later. Sending them back to bed...we got up at 7:00. They found their baskets and then dad had to leave to go to a meeting.
For breakfast we had a "traditional" breakfast eating foods that Christ might have had. We had grapes, cantaloupe, nuts, bread, eggs...and then we talked about Christ and the resurrection. All last week we talked about his life and the last week of his life and the symbolism there. I hope they got something from it. At least how special it was for Him to give his life for us.
Then after church I made a big dinner for Kyle's parents and his brother and wife and new sweet little baby. We had a really great Easter, the best in years!
