He is not here, but is risen!

Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining garments. Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen! He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, saying, 'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.' "

What a beautiful day we had here to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. Saturday, we went to an Easter Egg hunt here at the dam. The kids didn't find one egg...did I mention we were a few minutes late. Everyone knows that these things are over in a couple of minutes. Anyway, someone handed the kids each an egg that we then turned in for a bag of candy.

After the Easter egg hunt in town we went to some friends house. They hid eggs everywhere in their yard and the kids had a blast hunting all over the woods.

As if that wasn't enough, we came home and dyed Easter eggs. Nothing like cramming it all into one day and making the kids extremely tired right before they have to get up early for church.

I put the girls hair up in foam curlers while they worked away. I've never used them before on my children. I remember spending most Saturday nights with foam curlers in my hair so that I would have nice, tight ringlets for church the next day. They thought they were fantastic! :)

Our Easter day was beautiful weather wise. We attended church and then came home to caramel rolls I had made that morning. We had a traditional ham lunch and spent the rest of the day outside and/or lazing around on the couch.

Not the best pic of all of them but you should see the rest! They are horrible! No one wanted to smile and they were irritated with us for making them stand there, and the sun was shining right into their eyes. Yes, I could use a photography class!
