Our Lovely Easter Celebrations



We are so blessed to have both of our families in town, and as a result, we celebrate all holidays twice. :-) Sometimes that means crazy, long days with too much food, even more dessert, and no naps- not a good combination. I am usually frazzled because we run from one place to the next {and occasionally we visit up to 4 different locations on 1 holiday}.  Now that we have 2 babes, it is a lot harder to haul them all over the planet on a given day- so we are getting better about taking turns for holidays, or celebrating the day before or after with one or the other family.  For Easter this year, the Bradford side decided to have their celebration on Saturday, which was wonderful because all the cousins could come and we didn't have to feel divided or rushed. Jack had so much fun with his (2nd) cousin, Ellya. He pushed her around in his fire truck for a long time! 



On Sunday morning we celebrated as a little family.  Sean and Jack repeated proclaimed, 
"He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!" 
and we gave Jack and Claire their easter baskets :-) 
Claire shared her candy with Mommy&Daddy ;-)

Later we went to Nana's house for dinner and an Easter egg hunt with the cuzzies.  We now have 11 kids at our family parties! 4 of which were born in a 6 month span. Claire is number 11. 

We had so much fun celebrating with our families, but the greatest joy is knowing that we serve a living God. One who conquered Sin and Death; a perfect, sinless sacrifice. He is Risen Indeed.
