JDC's 1st Easter

You did read that right, this year was JDC's first Easter. (He was born the day after Easter last year.)  And we had a BIG time!! We dyed and hunted some eggs on Saturday since we thought it was supposed to rain on Easter.  MWC did good and even hid some for Daddy and JDC to find. We enjoyed having all the family over on Sunday.  --We missed Grandaddy, KayKay and WLG who weren't able to come.  :(  This year was the first one we 
really talked to MWC about what Easter meant.  She grasps the concept that He died on the cross for her, but she seems to not mention the fact that he rose again!!  We will get there.  :) RDC said she had asked some questions because in her bedtime Bible Story book they were reading about Jesus dieing for us and rising again.  (Isn't that PERFECT God timing?!?!)  Anyway, so we are praying that the Holy Spirit will guide us in answering her questions on an appropriate level that she will understand. We hope that you had a wonderful Easter celebrating that HE did rise again!!!      






                            Didn't she do a good job at hiding the eggs!?!??!  :)







Look what the Easter Bunny left!!!!!





The family---minus a few.  :(

LOL at how she hid the eggs. That is too cute!

She'll get the story right eventually. AEH said the other day that Nanny(SLH's grandmother you died recently)died on the cross and went to heaven. She is getting it all a little mixed up. :)

What a good looking and happy family!

They were so precious. I especially loved how MWC hid the eggs around the play house.

How sweet! I loved the picture of the family! I haven't seen Mimi in over a year. :( We are totally there with you guys on explaining hard stuff to the kids. Easter comes with lots of questions from our kiddos. Christmas seems a tad bit easier to understand! The Lord will open up doors for conversations and their minds to understand! As a mother, I am so thankful for that! :)
