Happy Easter 2010

Easter was nice and low-key, just the way we like it. Braxton woke me up at 7:00am for the Easter egg hunt, I tried to wake Ryan, but he wasn't moving and Emma was still asleep, so Braxton did the egg hunt himself. He didn't seem to mind.
Braxton and his basket
The best thing the Easter Bunny brought.

Some Easter kite flying
This is in our backyard, that's Braxton's school behind our house
Coloring eggs
Notice my son wearing a Halloween shirt while coloring eggs.
I love the Easter season. It's a time of Spring and renewal. The trees are budding and the tulips will soon be in bloom. I love it. I am so grateful for the real reason we celebrate Easter. Because the tomb was empty that first Easter morning, life has hope and purpose and there is always light even when the rest of the world seems dark. What an amazing gift.
"And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of Him, this is the testimony, last of all, which we give of Him. That He lives."
