Easter, part 2

Happy Easter to everyone! We started the day out with our Araucana eggs. No sense in dyeing them since they were already light green.

We had to open the church building so our Easter morning picture was taken there. We had a wonderful service. The pastor compared Matt 28 with Romans 4.

Now to the egg hunt. We had 17 children participate. Notice the coats! It was pretty chilly this morning. But since the snow wasn't deep and the ground was still frozen and the sun was shining, it was deemed warm enough to have the egg hunt outside. Here all the children are lined up ready to go.

The teenagers hid the eggs and then the youngest children were allowed to find their amount. The older children were then let loose to find their amount of eggs. Here Deborah and her friend talk about what they found.

We had two families from church over for Easter dinner. It was quite a spread. We couldn't even get the potatoes on the table. We had ham, applesauce, potatoes, fruit salad, rolls, pickles of every kind, and green beans for dinner. Dessert was pumpkin pie, jello cake with sprinkles on the frosting (big big hit with the kids), and chocolate cake.

That Easter hunt was fun! Do you always take an Easter picture?

I try and take an Easter picture because the boys are in their coats which usually doesn't happen that often.
