It was such a beautiful day today. We had a wonderful time celebrating the resurrection of Jesus. We went to church to worship and praise God for giving us HIS son so that we may have eternal life with HIM. I just love being at a great worship service when everyone is singing praises to our God. Such a blessing!

Once we got him from church, we started cooking our Easter dinner. We opted to not have a traditional dinner with ham this year. Since we have had such beautiful weather, we decided to fire up the grill. Buddy grilled chicken and pork chops, while I got started cooking the squash, corn on the cob, green beans w/ potatoes and rice. It was definitely a wonderful meal.

Once we finished cleaning up from lunch, Michael hid the eggs for Sarah, Samuel and Claire. They had a wonderful time trying to find all 36 eggs. They would race around the yard trying to find the eggs before each other. Inside some of the eggs were goodies that they got to enjoy once they found them all.

We then came back inside and decided to have a time of rest. The little ones took naps, while us older ones read quietly. Once nap-time was finished, they got the eggs out and decides to share with each other what they had found. I am so blessed with such gracious children.

As the day is turning into night, we have had some of the Impossible Pie that I made for dessert. This was my grandma’s recipe that I helped her bake on many occasions during the holidays. A memory I will never forget.

Thank you Lord Jesus for blessing my family. YOU have been so good to us throughout the years. I am praying I can be as faithful to YOU as YOU have been to me.
