He is Risen Indeed

I hope you all had a wonderful Resurrection Sunday.  I prefer to call it what it is, the celebration of our Savior's resurrection.  For truly that is the basis for all our hope.  That through the shed blood of Jesus Christ we can receive eternal life.  Now after saying all that we get lazy and do call it Easter also.  I think when I say Resurrection Sunday, I am referring to the Christian aspect of the day when I refer to Easter I tend to think of all the activities of the day.  I love having another reason to get together with those we love.

Spring is in the air, although the other day we did have a snow shower.  David came walking into the kitchen, as we were starting our day, singing "I'm dreaming of a white Easter."  Easter was without snow, and turned out lovely.  We had a good sermon, good weather, good gifts, good food, and good fellowship.  We are grateful for the sacrifice our savior made and we rejoice in the gifts of new life and family time.  Here are a few pictures.  We also had a family birthday celebration for Danika and Sierra.  Hope you are having a blessed day and that your Resurrection Sunday was wonderful too.

My pretty girls 

Sierra blew out her candles but Danika had lost her voice and chose to
put her half of the candles out by fanning them.

Happy Birthday girls
