Happy Easter

We did a lot to celebrate Easter this year. 

A fun egg dyeing party and egg hunt at a friend's house. 


This girl was a MACHINE picking up eggs, she got the most of anyone. 


The Easter art I made a few years ago finally has a nice place to be displayed.


My neighbor made these and gave me one, I was so impressed!


We also dyed some eggs at our house too.


This morning's Easter family basket. Some chocolates, a new movie, and a couple family games. 


HE IS RISEN!!!


August woke with a fever so just the girls and I went up to my parents' church.


He was feeling better, so they came up for the dinner together.


Happy Easter!


We love our church. But for Easter and Christmas I find myself wanting a more traditional service. I guess you can take the pipe organ building/organist's daughter out of the Lutheran church but you can't take the... I'm not sure how that goes... but on those services especially I find myself just craving those hymns. We sang this beautiful one for the closing service and it just had me in tears. 

Alleluia! Jesus is risen!Trumpets resounding in glorious light!Splendor, the Lamb, heaven forever!Oh, what a miracle God has in sight!
Jesus is risen and we shall ariseGive God the glory! Alleluia!
Walking the way, Christ in the centerTelling the story to open our eyesBreaking our bread, giving us gloryJesus our blessing, our constant surprise
Jesus is risen and we shall ariseGive God the glory! Alleluia!
Jesus the vine, we are the branchesLife in the Spirit the fruit of the treeHeaven to earth, Christ to the peopleGift of the future now flowing to me
Jesus is risen and we shall ariseGive God the glory! Alleluia!
Weeping, be gone; sorrow, be silentDeath put asunder, and Easter is brightCherubim sing: O grave, be open!Clothe us in wonder, adorn us in light
Jesus is risen and we shall ariseGive God the glory! Alleluia!
City of God, Easter foreverGolden Jerusalem, Jesus the LambRiver of life, saints and archangelsSing with creation to God the I AM!
Jesus is risen and we shall ariseGive God the glory! Alleluia!


 Amen!!
