Happy Easter Hugs.....




We wish you a very Happy Easter.....


Every Easter the girls decorate an Easter tree and they get dressed in pretty clothes (thanks for the beautiful dresses aunt Joanne) and I take pictures for Easter cards. This is the picture I chose for this year.. Easter Hugs..

The girls also went to see the Easter bunny.. They all enjoyed the Easter bunny as you can see .. except for Matteya. She went kicking and screaming (very LOUD) I took a quick few pictures and took her off Gabi's lap and away from the bunny as fast as i could. Matteya likes the Easter bunny from a distance. On Easter sunday, they will find there Easter baskets and yea, eat candy with breakfast( a dentist nightmare) we will go to church and just have a family day and before they go to bed i will read to them again

this is cute childrens book about Easter .....

"What is Easter ?" written by Michelle Adams

" The little bunny hops, hops, hops. Is this what Easter means? Is it about Easter eggs all filled with jellybeans? Is Easter about hunting eggs? I do that every year. Does it mean eating chocolate stuff? I ate my bunny's ear. Is it about the baby chicks? They're fuzzy and they're fun! I saw some Easter chicks for sale. I really wanted one. Is it about Easter toys? They're really fun, i think. One time a bunny came to me . His little nose was pink. Is it about my brand-new dress? And my new Easter hat? Does it mean wearing shiny shoes? I really do love that! Is it about a big parade with lots of pretty floats? Is is about the Easter choir? They sing the highest notes! NO! That's not what Easter means. Easter means much more than that. It's all about God's son. See, God sent Jesus down to earth to die for everyone. He had to die upon a tree to save us from our sin. But he was only dead three days, and then he rose again. Now ,that's what Easter really means! It's quite a special day. Jesus our Savior rose again. Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Today , he sits right next to God in Heaven up above. He wants to live inside you too and fill you up with love! Okay, now I get it. The Easter Bunny is okay, and Easter eggs are fun. But Easter's not about that stuff...It's all about God's son."

I think it is a great children book!

Easter is a time to open our hearts and re-order our priorites in our lives.

Jesus said, " Where your heart is, there will your treasure be also."

Happy Easter....Happy Spring....

I love the picture with the girls and the bunny. This is the first Easter for Nevyada right? We don't have this tradition of the bunny and the eggs in Guatemala. I'm sure she loves it. Did you cut Teya's hair? It looks cute, I like it. We're going tomorrow to color some eggs with Marilu.
Love
