I love Easter. I love what it stands for. Who we celebrate. I love that it's in the spring. It represents life. Fresh and new. Hope. I love spending time with family and friends. I love dressing up our boys in their new outfits. Easter egg hunts. I love we serve a GOD who is alive. He is real! He loves us. He came to earth to live as a man because of us. He gives us a reason to live. A reason to trust. A reason to rejoice.

Her husband organized the helicopter drop and did a fabulous job. Thanks again, Todd!
the drop
Thousands of eggs!
Z wanted to open each one, so I tried explaining that we have to hurry so he can get a lot of eggs. ; )

W & Cody
Colson & Gran
A highlight of my weekend was meeting Sadie. She is 1 1/2 weeks old and the sweetest thing. So tiny! Hillary is a great mom, and I'm very excited for her.
We went to the Easter service Saturday night. It was a special time of worship with our families.

"Why are you looking for the living among the dead?" asked the men. "He is not here, but He has been resurrected!"
Luke 24:5-6

Your boys are so precious! I know that sweet Reese was smiling up in Heaven seeing her little Easter basket! LOVE your dress! Where did you find it?
ReplyDeletecute.. love the Easter buckets and all the pictures?
ReplyDeleteYou have such a beautiful family! :-) I'm glad your Easter was wonderful - your little ones are so cute in their Easter outfits and doing their egg hunts! The little (and Big - ha!) Easter buckets are ADORABLE! Reese's is my favorite :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Katie, everyone looks so great and it looks like a great time was had by all in your neck of the woods!
ReplyDeleteYou know, the Bible says that even in laughter the heart aches. I'm not sure where that verse is, but it echoes in my heart all the time, and it's so true. I find myself so happy and so joyful and yet, at the very same time, I cry and feel so sad too! But you're right, God never leaves us or forsakes us, and even when we awake in the morning, He is still there! (Psalm 139:18) That comforts me even in my deepest tears.
Thank you for being so real and sharing your heart. It's so encouraging! Take care!
such a sweet Easter post.. I love your dress ... would you share where you got it?
