Easter 2011 Recap

Last night, we attended our Community/Church Easter egg hunt.   A couple in our church were gracious enough to have everyone at their home.  They have about 200 beautiful acres and it was a perfect spot to have it!  They also had hotdogs and three bounce houses for the kids.

 

We tried a few times to get Hayden go jump in the bounce house and go down the big bounce slide.  Hayden wanted nothing to do with it and held on for life!

A gentleman brought this remote control car that entertained the kids and adults too. It would go 80+ MPH.  It was crazy!  Hayden LOVED watching it!

Before the egg hunt, they had all the kids sit down to tell the kids that Easter isn’t just about eggs and bunnies.  But, the REAL reason we celebrate Easter.  They kids were absolutely perfect listeners.   I can’t wait for the day that Hayden fully understand what Easter really means.   They also gave them each a necklace with Jesus written on it.    Hayden proudly wore his.  :-)

Sweet Cousins!  Brooklyn and Hayden are crazy about each other!

Egg Hunt Time!

 

Our friend Hudson was there too!  I love how precious they look wearing their Jesus necklace.

 

This morning we went to church.  In Sunday School, Jeff and I watched parts of The Passion of Christ in our class.  I had not seen the movie in quite some time.  I think I had forgotten exactly how hard it is to watch.  Although I am so grateful that Jesus died on the cross for ME and YOU, it doesn’t make it any easier to watch.  Thankfully, He AROSE! 

Papaw and Hayden.  They are pretty good buddies.

Lulu pushed Hayden around on the scooter.  Hayden kept saying “Moy, Moy” . 

( That would be “MORE” in Hayden’s language) 

Hayden has this egg hunting thing down.  He couldn’t find any in his bucket so he was ready to go hunt him some “eaaggsss”.
