EASTER WEEKEND

We had such a wonderful Easter weekend. Thursday night Jimmy, my Dad, and I went to the Passion Play. Each year, the Methodist church puts on a play of Jesus's last days prior to the Crucifixion and Resurrection. They always do a great job. Saturday we had Easter Fun at Mawmaw's (my mom). We had an egg hunt and wonderful food on the grill. Here Kamryn is finding an egg!

Saturday night the Easter Bunny made a stop at our house...and he was very generous, leaving her lots of goodies: a dress, shoes, laptop, a bunny, bathing-suit, a book about Easter, shoes, candy, candy, and more candy.








Sunday morning we had to leave early for church...but Kamryn still had time to check out her surprise when she woke up...


This child loves shoes...so here she is checking out the Easter bunny's taste in shoes. He passed the test, I think. :)





...playing with her lap-top...

After church, we went to Granny and Grandaddy's (Pettit) for more fun! We ate more good food and hid some more eggs. Since Kamryn had some practice the day before she knew what she was doing this time! And she had such a good time playing with her cousins!

I hope everyone had a very safe and blessed Easter weekend.

Happy Easter!

I don't have pictures to post tonight....I just wanted to take a second to say HAPPY EASTER to everyone! We have a few Easter functions to attend this weekend so I will have many pictures to post next week. :) Easter is such a wonderful time! I pray everyone remembers the reason we celebrate Easter....the Easter bunny, egg hunts, and candy are all fun....but remember WHY! Jesus suffered and died on the Cross for OUR sins....this opened the doors of Heaven for ME and YOU so that we may enter those gates of Heaven when it's our time to go Home. Thank you God for sending your Son for ME!

I am in love with this particular CD I bought when Kamryn was an infant....I still listen to it ALL the time.

There is this particular song on it that is perfect for this time of year. If you get the chance....download the song-it's wonderful! Here are the lyrics:



How deep the Father's love for us,
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure

How great the pain of searing loss,
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the chosen One,
Bring many sons to glory

Behold the Man upon a cross,
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice,
Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection

Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
HAPPY EASTER!!
