Celebrating His Resurrection

For many years we've intentionally shyed away from many of the traditional Easter celebrations--mostly because in the midst of the commercialism, many people seemed to have forgotten the resurrection of Christ. However, this year we realized that in our efforts to avoid the commercialism, we had also (essentially) forgotten Christ's resurrection. Easter had almost become a non-holiday in our home. We decided to rectify that. Easter celebrates one of the most important truths of the Bible--we want that to be important to our children. So here's a glimpse of some the happenings in our home last week ...

Decorations--compliments of Publix ...and Hannah. :)

Celebrating the new life we have through Christ ...

Easter cards for a friend who will soon be seeing his Savior face-to-face ...

Spring-themed Sugar Cookies ...

It was Matthew's first time really helping with cookies ... he liked the dough. ;)

White chocolate lambs ...

A resurrection reminder on our special dessert ...

Easter portrait ... compliments of Hannah :)

And an afternoon Easter egg hunt ... so much fun! :)

Simple things, but it has been good to remember.

He has risen, as He said.
