Easter 2011

***Disclaimer!!! The pictures in this post are all kinds of unorganized because Blogger is stupid. Sorry!******


Easter is one of my favorite times of the year, if not my favorite (probably a close tie with Christmas). It is a time where we can reflect on Jesus' ultimate sacrifice so that we may be forgiven for our imperfections. I just love the music, the meaning, and all things bunny.

We started out our Easter festivities with coloring eggs. Reese kept wanting to dip the eggs in the dye with his fingers. It almost got really messy! After the eggs dried, we put stickers on them. Reese would put one sticker on an egg and point to another egg and say "One more!". Our celebrating was derailed slightly when Reese slipped in the bathtub and smacked his face on the side. We ran up to the After Hours to have them check it out. Call over-cautious, but under his eye was bleeding and swelling. He was pretty pitiful! He recovered very quickly, though!

Sunday morning we woke up to find out what the Easter Bunny brought. Reese was very excited about his "Melmo" doll and books. He also wanted to break out the finger paint, but of course that's gonna be for another day! We went to church and after a wonderful service, we proceded out to the rock garden to release balloons. Reese was a little sad to see his balloons drift away!

After church, we headed to Cochran for the Annual Easter Lunch and Easter Egg Hunt. It was a lot of fun! There's always way too much food and the kids always have a blast hunting around 500 eggs. Reese had been to his cousin's birthday party the day before and hunted eggs then, so he was a pro at it now. And by pro, I mean, he was a pro and finding the egg, opening it, seeing what was inside, playing with whatever was inside, putting in his basket, and then moving on the next egg! It was quite precious! We had a very nice Easter this year.

PRAISE GOD, CHRIST IT RISEN!
