Easter 2013

We had a lovely Easter, being reminded of what Christ did for each of us and the renewal of our lives because of His death.  It is the sweetest thing when Caleb tells us the reason we celebrate Easter.  

Our first Easter Egg Hunt was at a church near our house.  It was a rainy day and we weren't planning on going until we heard they moved it inside.  We weren't there for too long but Caleb had a blast!

Davis had a blast too when he wasn't having a "Two-Year Old" moment! Shortly after this picture, Daddy took him to the car for the remainder of the time.  Bless his sweet heart-it is tough being Two!
Caleb loved the bounce house that he flew through! 
He got his face painted for the first time-a baseball! 
Little Miss had fun too! 
Time with the Easter Bunny-too bad Davis was already in the car, not that the Easter Bunny would have made him ANY happier! 
Love this picture of Avery realizing her big brother is next to her! 
We came home to an Easter Themed lunch! 

We dyed Easter Eggs--Caleb really enjoyed it and helped the entire time! Davis thought it was fun but just didn't have the attention span, nor was he gentle enough for the eggs. 





The cute kit we bought, had little hats and things to decorate your eggs with.  Caleb had fun trying on the egg hat and wig.
 

Our Fun Eggs

We drove to Austin on Friday morning and after unloading and taking naps at Mimi and Papa's, we headed to Mammy and MeDad for the second Easter Egg Hunt.


The noises of excitement coming from these two while opening their eggs was so sweet!

Avery watching all the excitement
Thanking Mammy for a fun day
Love them!
Avery's first Easter-she was mesmerized by her funny ears in the camera
Davis thought the ears were pretty cool too
Saturday morning we gathered with the Garcia Cousins, Mimi and Papa for Easter Egg Hunt #3 and a fun picnic at the park.
Thanks Mimi and Papa for a fun time!
Aunt Jen and Faith (who wasn't quite feeling 100%)

Had to also throw this precious picture into the blog of the Garcia's going to visit the Easter Bunny in their cute Easter Outfits!
After naps, we headed to the Cowden Cousin's to have Easter Egg Hunt #4 and have dinner. Cute Kids ready to find their eggs.

And they are off
Mammy was a huge help



On Sunday, we were so excited to go to church with ALL the grandparents: Mimi, Papa, Mammy, and MeDad, then we all went out for a quick lunch before heading home. What a blessing for our kids to have both sets of grandparents together at one time!

The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name. Luke 24:46-47
Happy Easter! He is Risen, Risen Indeed!
