Easter

He is Risen!!!!

So we taught Emry to say, but she isn’t exactly sure what Easter is all about yet. Thankfully, that’s a blanket statement. She doesn’t understand the Easter bunny, coloring eggs or hunting for them any more than she understands the death and glorious resurrection of our Savior. So for now our parenting skills are intact. She doesn’t think finding Easter eggs is better than celebrating what Christ has done for us. Next year, though…

Naturally, I dressed my children very nicely for Easter Sunday. It’s always a wonderful Easter further north when the weather is actually warm enough to dress in nice spring clothes. Emry wore an adorable dress my friend Allyson had given her to wear last summer, but it didn’t fit until this year. And Ethan had on a very cute pair of overalls he inherited from his cousin Benny…which he proceeded to dirty with a whopper of a diaper before church concluded. Not that it mattered ultimately for he slept through the photo-op up at the West End Overlook anyhow. So our parenting skills are again lacking – no adorable pictures of our kids together for the Easter holiday. Maybe next year…

Still, we got some cute pictures all around. And, in the end, Easter isn’t about pictures anyhow, right?

He is Risen, Indeed!!!!!

Ethan wasn’t happy until the overalls were off!

Enjoying Easter chocolate. (And Mama thought she couldn’t unwrap it – hah!)
