He Lives! {easter}

I serve a risen Savior, Hes in the world today;
I know that He is living, whatever men may say;...

 

One of my favorite Hymns growing up was "He Lives". I can still remember times when the orchestra would stop playing and we would sing a capella. It would give me chills every time. I'm so thankful we serve a RISEN savior! Because of this we get to celebrate Easter...

This was Lilly Roses' 2nd Easter. Last year she was so tiny we didn't do baskets or hunt eggs. So this was her first and it was so much fun.

After Lilly Rose got a good peek into her Easter basket we headed to church and then to Papa & Yaya's for lunch.

the obligatory family photo that never turns out good

I really appreciate and love the fact that mom always does a nice holiday table

My setting had it's very own chocolate bunny! :)

Lilly even hunted eggs for the first time. She did pretty good! She was cracking us up - Lilly likes linear things and she was taking the (paper) grass from the basket and straightening them out. I guess she didn't like them crinkled.

Once we came home she finally got to dig in and see what the bunny left for her. I thought Elmo would be the favorite but seems the sunglasses were. :)

I love this picture. I imagine the basket will shrink over the years.

ready for fun in the sun!

 

...You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart.
