Easter

Easter is such a glorious holiday.  We marvel at the magnitude of God's gift of grace, his Son sent to die on the cross so that we may be forgiven of our sins and redeemed.  Amazing Grace!  While riding in the car the other day, Tessa randomly announced "I have Jesus in my heart, I love Him."  The faith of a child is a beautiful thing to behold.  

We snapped a few pictures before heading to church bright and early Easter morning. 

After church we snapped a few more pictures with our friends.  

The three amigos made a break for the playground but I did manage to get a few good pictures.

 

And, for once, we mommas got to be in the picture instead of behind the camera.  We didn't plan to color coordinate, it just happened.

After church we went to my parent's house for lunch, egg hunting and presents.  In her Easter basket, Tessa got a variety of Ariel swim stuff.  And, to be cute, the Easter eggs were filled with goldfish.

We all watched Tessa hunt eggs around G&G's yard.  These eggs were much more exciting because they were filled with chocolate, lollipops, toys and Squinkies. 

Yes, we now have a million Squinkies plus the carriage/gumball machine.  And you can see from the huge smile that Tessa thinks this is the best gift ever.  Happy Easter!
