Easter 2010

We had a wonderful Easter! Such a special, wonderful holiday! Without this special day, we would not have the hope for life that we do! The magnitude I don't think we often grasp. I have been meditating on Easter's special meaning this year. The pain and suffering our Savior went through for us. I get a headache, and boy that bothers me! HE had a crown of thorns PUSHED down into his head. I get a papercut or a sliver and whine about it hurting. HE was whipped and beaten like an animal. I get my feelings hurt so easily about the dumbest things. HE was mocked, spit on and abandoned by those he loved most. HE did that all to save a bunch of sinners. People who don't deserve that kid of love, HE gave it freely and fully! And, HE would have gone through it all if I was the only person to die for. Pretty humbling!

We started our day going to church with Jason's family at Calvary Chaple. It was a great service, and the kids sat with us and did great! I was very proud of them! Then we had a brunch at Curt and Rene's. We had quiche (which I made! :)) and strawberry shortcake. Very yummy, although I think we need more food with the amout of boys filling up this side of the family! :)

We just spent time visiting and of course taking pictures! Then we headed home and just spent the rest of the day together. It was very nice and relaxing! We did really miss my family who was spending Easter with Bianca in Seattle. It's just not the same without you guys! :)
