He is Risen!

This Easter was one of our memorable days ever. Caden and Laura Grace had both asked Jesus into their hearts this past year. They were both asking questions about baptism and our Pastor had talked about having a service on Easter. Josh is an ordained minister (long story for another post-- he was asked to conduct a marriage ceremony a few years ago and so he was ordained...) So, when it was time for Easter to come, that our kids wanted to announce their faith and to be obedient in their act of baptism, Josh was able to be the one to baptize them. It was such a special opportunity!

We woke up and did Easter baskets

And then we took the obligatory family picture before church

Then Laura Grace was baptized. She had to go first because Caden had to see what it was all about before he was fully ready to commit...



Then it was Caden's turn



After church, we had a fantastic day of family and friends at John and Terri's. We just completely are blessed beyond words. We love that we can spend Easter with family from every side and every type of friend. If you live in our neck of the woods and don't have a big-fat-not-really-greek-family to spend your holidays with, please call me! You are welcome!

Here are just a few of my favorite pictures from egg hunts... You'll have to check out my facebook page to see the rest of them :)
