Happy Easter!!

He is risen!! The tomb Jesus was in is empty!! I hope everyone had a fabulous Easter!! Tucker had a great Easter as this is the first year that he's really been able to know what is going on with hunting eggs, the Easter Bunny, etc.
Tucker's Easter events started on Wednesday when we had an Easter Egg Hunt with our Auburn Mommies group at Felton Little Park.
Enjoying the egg hunt!!

Then on Saturday we attended Easter on the Square in downtown and had a wonderful time. It's a fabulous event that the Parks and Recreation puts on every year. When we got there, we did lots of crafts, then Tucker and Daddy were in a parade and then Tucker hunted eggs and candy!! He had a big day!!
Not too sure about the Easter Bunny

Ready to get the eggs and the candy with his camo jeep basket he selected..

Showing us what he found..

On the way home from our second Easter Egg Hunt I felt the need to ask Tucker why we celebrated Easter (I was afraid I knew what he was going to say as the only Easter he had experience was egg hunts)
Tucker: Yes, mam mommy, for Easer Egg Huns
Me: (seeing this as an opportunity to explain the real reason, I take one of his eggs and take the rabbit eraser out so the egg is empty) See the empty egg Tuck
Tuck: Where my raser go mommy?
Me: It's right here Tuck but look see how the egg is empty?
Tuck: Yes mam
Me: Jesus died on the cross to save us from our sins and three days after Hewas buried He arose from the dead and the egg is empty like the tomb is empty. We celebrate Easter because Jesus arose!!
Tuck: Okay Mommy, where my raser?
Chance laughed at me and said good try but I think he's too young to understand all that he's only 2. Maybe next year.
Then today we had a great Easter Sunday. We decided to stay at our house today and just chill since we've been going so much. We kept the nursery this morning and look at these precious children in their Easter outfits..

Family Easter picture

Brother Steve delivered a great message and so did Jason in Sunday School. After church we had a family picture by the fountain and enjoyed a delicous lunch with some of our dear friends the Bryants. (Please keep Ashley's family in your prayers as her Great Grandmother went to be with the Lord today). All three of us enjoyed an afternoon nap and then we headed back to church for the Lord's Supper tonight. Mike King did a fabulous job as it was the best Lord's Supper I have ever been apart of. The entire evening service was devoted to the Lord's Supper and the music was great. We just had a wonderful Easter celebrating our Savior's Resurrection.
