Easter

Happy Easter! Our morning started with early church service. We rejoiced that our Lord & Savior arose from the dead after paying the price for our sins on the cross. He lives! Then it was over to G&Gs for lunch. My mom always sets such a beautiful table. The menu consisted of lamb, risotto, carrots and more. We have lamb on Easter to remind us that Jesus is the Lamb of God. While lunch was cooking, we headed outside for an egg hunt. With no competition for the eggs, Tessa took her time finding them hidden around the yard. When she discovered they were filled with good chocolate candy (not the cheapo gum and sugar paste) she had to open and sample each egg. It was a fabulous warm day so we didn't mind sitting outside and watching her hunt to her heart's content. Obligatory bunny ear pictures. I just think they are so cute. Sadly, I was called into work before we could sit down to eat or open Tessa's Easter basket. I'm more than a little grumpy about this since I just worked on Christmas too. But when Tessa did finally open her basket it was wonderful. She is such a sweetheart, genuinely excited and grateful for presents. Happy Easter!
