Easter at Gran & Papa's

I Love Easter! I love spending Easter morning at church with my family celebrating our Savior!  I love sharing the story with my children.  As I read it to them out of their children's Bible Saturday night I got all teary eyed and covered in goose bumps.  Oakley said, "Mommy are you crying?"  It does that to me every time!  I can't even comprehend what Jesus went through and as a mother I can't imagine the pain Mary felt, but I do know that I am so blessed to have a Savior that died for my sin and then rose again!  Here are the lyrics to one of my all time favorite songs...this song says it all.

Chris Tomlin
Amazing Love

I’m forgiven because You were forsaken,
I’m accepted, You were condemned.
I am alive and well, Your spirit is within me,
Because You died and rose again.

Amazing love,
How can it be
That You, my King, should die for me?
Amazing love,
I know it’s true.
It’s my joy to honor You,
In all I do, I honor You.

I’m forgiven because You were forsaken,
I’m accepted, You were condemned.
I am alive and well, Your spirit is within me,
Because You died and rose again.

You are my King
Jesus You are my King
 
Here are a few pics taken after church at my Mom and Dad's house.

My three beautiful babies!
My Family...I think it is impossible to get one of us all looking and smiling!

Me and my younger sister and brother.

Avery's favorite pose for pictures these day!

Oakley LOVES to work puzzles.  I hear his Daddy was the same way as a little boy.

Patiently waiting for Papa, Daddy and Uncle Goose to finish hiding the eggs.

Avery is always ready to help Oakley out. Excuse his flowery basket, we were running late for church and forgot to grab their Easter baskets so we had to use what Gran had laying around!

She was on a mission!

He finally found a stash in the opposite direction from Avery!
