Happy Easter!

This is your first Easter egg hunt. We hung out on the grass and taught you all about easter egg hunting. 

At first you were pretty confused about why we were picking up eggs and why someone left them all over the ground.

But you are an obedient child and we were excited about it so you pick up eggs and put them in your basket.

Daddy and Uncle Steve helped you get the hang of it.

I love watching you with your dad, you admire him so much!

You showed me all the eggs you found, I was very proud.

Then I showed you what was in the eggs....CANDY!! you tried to eat a chocolate egg with the foil still on...

I unwrapped it and popped it in your mouth...

You decided egg hunting is awesome if chocolate is in them. This is literally the second piece of candy you have ever had...you like it...a lot!!

I love you my boy...we had a great time!!

you loved dragging around your easter basket...it's pretty cool there is a robot on it...and candy in it so...you hung on pretty tight to it!

You are so cute!!! Let's be honest there is SO much more to Easter than the easter eggs, cute outfits and candy. The whole reason we celebrate Easter is because Jesus was crucified, died and rose from the dead three days later. Easter is a celebration of what Jesus did for us. Not only did he defeat death, prooving he is God but he died to pay for our sins, so we can live for eternity in heaven with Him! He also died so we can have a personal relationship with Him (no more animal sacrifices). He sent the Holy Spirit for us, as a reminder of His return. 

That is a reason to smile my boy. True love demonstrated by Jesus. He loves you more than I ever can and if you accept Him and live for Him you will live with Him forever!!! That is a reason to celebrate!
