Easter

Easter Sunday started out early for us. Our church has a sunrise service, so that means church starts at 7am. I also was a part of the Easter choir, so practice was at 6:30 am. Wow - good thing we went to bed early!
After church, the youth group has a fundraiser and serves breakfast. YUM!

While we were at church, the Easter Bunny left some goodies for the kids.
(Allyson knows that it is mom and dad - because she saw one of the gifts in my room - but she still thinks its fun!)














I love the kids facial expressions in these pictures - Caden is super excited to find the "Alvin and the Chipmunks movie with girls" and Allyson loves her new American Girl Doll (Bitty Baby) outfit (just the one she wanted!)














Next, we went to my grandpa's house for dinner. It was great being with family.

Great Grandpa helping Allyson reach some eggs during the egg hunt.



















The weather was gorgeous, so we also had part of the egg hunt outside.

Let us not forget the real reason we celebrate Easter!
He is Risen! Hallelujia!
