Easter 2010

We had a very nontraditional Easter this year, which was great! Since Jay and I had taken a red-eye flight home and didn't arrive until yesterday afternoon, I didn't really have time to plan a whole lot. Plus we were exhausted and the kids were just happy to be in their own home and have us all to them selves. There were no Easter out fits bought, no candy purchased or eggs filled ahead of time, no fun baskets awaiting the kids when they woke up...just sweet time together. We made it to church and heard an amazing message. I just LOVE hearing about the Resurrection!!! So much hope, so much joy! Instead of coming home in a rush to prepare a big dinner we drove down town and took the kids to PF Chang's for lunch. They all cheered! Its their fav and we had a great time talking about the Risen Lord around our Chinese food! We then stopped by the store to get a few things of candy, came home, had the kids fill the eggs themselves, hid the eggs, searched for eggs and then ate some candy! Then to top off the already different yet wonderful day Jay let the kids go hot tubbin' while I jumped into the MOUNDS of laundry that will probably take me 4 days to get done! Its funny how I usually end up loving the non-traditional, non-stressful holidays that providentially come my way, more than the planned events...I sure did have more time today to really think about and appreciate all that the Lord Jesus did for me. For I know my Redeemer LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Easter my friends and family!

Everybody loves a good tickle!
