Easter

Easter is one of the most under celebrated holidays I think. If you think about what Easter really is- it should be the biggest Christian holiday there is! It's the day our Lord was raised from the dead! The tomb was empty! He defied all earthly logic and fulfilled God's perfect plan. 

We tried really hard to talk about the real meaning of Easter with Ainsley. She did lots of crafts at school that centered around Christ and the Cross, and even made a little booklet called 'Jesus is Alive'. so thankful for her sweet heart and her love she has for God. 

That being said, we did partake in lots of fun Easter Bunny/Egg activities! We started by dying Easter eggs at Nanny Pops house with Anna Beth.  It was not nearly as messy as I anticipated:) 

Then we had an Easter Egg hunt in the Wilhoite Shed because it was freezing out and no one wanted to be outside. the girls had a great time and the older cousins got to enjoy soup and great company:) 

We did Easter with Gramma Joy, Uncle Bri and Aunt Lindsay at our house earlier in the week. I made dinner and Ainsley and Joy had prepared a bunny cake the day before. It was delicious! 

Ainsley's craft at school 

While I went to a "girls night away" (next post) Ainsley stayed the night at Nanny Pops house. She, of course, had a blast. and made sure she packed the most random things in her suitcase to take with her. The next morning their neighborhood had an Easter Egg hunt so Ainsley got to go to the park and rack up on more eggs! 

The Easter Bunny came Saturday night and Ainsley was so excited to come down the steps and see what was in her basket. She actually woke up before Parker for once so she got to enjoy some time with just her and her new things:) Of course she wasn't really impressed with my I-Spy bottle that I loved... i knew she wouldn't be:) 

A family photo is pretty much out of the question, especially on a Sunday morning. but we did good getting these! 

After an awesome church service we went to Mom and Dads for an Easter Egg hunt with Anna Beth (thanks Uncle Bubby for hiding eggs!). We had a delicious lunch that everyone chipped in on but really Mom did most the work:) It was yummy and a bit chaotic with our daughter being a little out of control. 

After lunch Mom and I got to walk off some off our lunch (not all of course) and enjoy the beautiful day. 

So thankful for Christ and what he went through so that we could have a life more beautiful than anything we could ever dream.
