Easter 2012

 We colored eggs using Kool-Aid this year!  It smelled so good and colored the eggs really well.  Thank you Pinterest for all your wonderful ideas.

 Our little family of four!

 Kiddos with Grandma!

 Papa and Jane

 My cousins!

All the "kids"!

It was a wonderful day, the weather was perfect and we enjoyed our time with our family.  But the most important thing about Easter is the Risen Lord and all the blessings we received because of HIM! 

An Easter Blessing!

May the glory
and the promise
of this joyous time of year
Bring peace
and happiness to you
and those you hold most dear,

And may Christ,
Our Risen Savior,
always be there by your side
To bless you
most abundantly
and be your loving guide.

This is one of my very favorite Easter hymns. It brings me back to my childhood when my Grandmother was leading the singing at our church. Her smile and excitement as she sang this hymn is how we all should be everyday!

Enjoy this blessed holiday with those you love and remember how much YOU are loved!

He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!
