Easter 2010

We had a busy Easter weekend. We started the weekend at Mimi and Granddad's house. The "Easter Bunny" did his thing on Saturday morning. We wanted to keep Easter Sunday's focus on Jesus. Later that morning we got ready for the Kiwanis's Egg race ( that is what we call it at our house). Last year Hannah only got 1 egg, but this year we tried a different approach and called it a race instead of a hunt, and she ended the "race" with 16 eggs! As we lined up across the 3rd base line, Hannah started stretching and doing jumping jacks to warm up and prepare for her race.




That afternoon we went to see Aunt Brandy and cousin Ben for another egg hunt at their house. She had fun and ended the day with a black eye. She got a little crazy on the swing set and wound up with a black eye just in time for Easter pictures. I was able to fix her hair so you could not see it much.

As with most family pictures with small children we took tons of pictures trying to get one "good one" here are a few we wound up with after church on Sunday.

Here are some more that were good for at least one person in the picture

In conclusion here is the "Easter Story" according to Hannah:

"There were some bad men that did not like Jesus, so they put him on a cross. They put nails in his hands and feet so he would not fall off when he died. They also cut his side with a sharp sward and hurt him. After he died they put him in a tube. They put a big rock in front of the tube so he could not get out, but he did anyway. He came alive and saw all his friends, then he went to heaven." This is the story she told me on the way home from school last week. As the weekend went on the story changed a bit... "Jesus was put in a cave, like one that bears live in."

I hope everyone had a good Easter weekend. Bye for now.
