Easter is such a special time for me, personally. I have such fond memories of when my family and I first started going to church in high school and how powerful Easter Sunday was for me. I will always remember a rough wooden cross that stood outside our church. There was chicken wire wrapped around the cross and all of us brought flowers and decorated it. It was a physical sign I could "do" that showed my Lord how much I loved him. I think that is why I love Easter Sunday so much, and really any Sunday at church, because it is a way for me to physically show up, worship, and tell my Savior how much He means to me. My prayer is that I can pass that excitement and passion onto my own children.
We had a wonderful time celebrating Easter as a family! Austin and Kaitlyn got to hunt numerous Easter eggs with classmates and family.
Austin ready to hunt some Easter eggs at his school! They had a basket decorating contest.
Our church put on an Easter pageant called, "Bow The Knee." It was a tremendous blessing to be a part of it! There are some neat pictures of the play on my friend's blog,

The kiddos all dressed up for Easter with their baskets full of goodies!
I love family photos even though the kids aren't smiling, but I was so excited that all of us had matching outfits this year! Love it!
Kaitlyn was so excited about those eggs!
Austin had a great time running around trying to find as many eggs as possible! Next year we'll need to get him a bigger basket.
