Easter is always a favorite holiday here at the cottage. For us it is a huge celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus. We are thankful for Good Friday, which causes us to stop and remember just what Christ suffered on our behalf.
With Saturday, its all about setting the tables, and preparing for the celebration to come on Sunday. I am grateful to live after the Resurrection. Can you imagine how heartbroken, the disciples and all those who loved and followed Jesus were on that day after Jesus died such a horrible death. We have the blessing of knowing 'the rest of the story' and so we can prepare with joy for Sunday!
We had a wonderful lunch together with my parents, Nate and Kayleigh and the girls, our friend Denny, and our friends Mike and Jennifer and two of their kids, Brooke and Daniel.
We ate good food (ham, broccoli salad, a fluff (jello salad), potato salad, fruit salad, and baked beans), talked and laughed.
We enjoyed Klaire experiencing her first egg hunt
These three were excited for their egg hunt - 91 eggs full of fruit snacks, candy, and thanks to Birdie (my mom) some coins!
Klaire enjoyed watching the action from Grandpa's shoulders.
Later we ate some dessert, the ladies played Mexican Train (dominoes), the men chatted, some of the kids went on a hike.
I hope you all had a wonderful Easter, too. Can't wait to make my way around blogland and see all of your celebrations! Feel free to tell me in the comments what you did or your favorite thing about Easter was this year!
