Easter!

Our Easter fun started on Palm Sunday with egg decorating

our finished eggs!

"Some Bunny Loves Me" - Evy got a sweet Easter outfit in the mail!

Good Friday we always carve out some time to talk with our kids about the real Easter story - we have eggs with items in each one that help prompt discussion about the story.  This year we decided to also watch a movie that evening - trying to really drive home the significance/story of Easter.  Unfortunately, the movie we chose, while cute, didn't talk about the cross or the tomb at all, but the boys still thought it was great night.

Easter Saturday was sunny so we went for a walk down by the river.  This was Evy's first time in the hiker backpack and Sully's second voyage on his two wheeler without training wheels (everyone is growing up).

We had a special delivery of Paska bread!  :)  Ohhhh sweet Easter bread - SUCH A TREAT - this is just another great tradition we have latched on to since moving to BC!

Easter Sunday!!!  Celebrating Jesus' resurrection!!!!

Easter Egg Hunting!

After naps on Easter Sunday we headed back to the river for some family time - it was a bit chilly, but still so nice to be outside and together.

Grams and Gramps flew in on Sunday night so Easter Monday the celebrating continued with gifts!

and a hike to Cascade Falls

Monday evening we feasted

Mr. John joined us for supper

ready to eat!

We serve a LIVING God - the awe and reality of that was fun to share with the boys.  We are so grateful for a God that would sacrifice His son for US that we could live FOREVER with Him!!!  Happy Easter indeed!
