He is Risen!

On Easter, we drove to Gramps and Grams’ house for Easter dinner and an afternoon together. In my last post, I talked about the special touches my mom has for the holidays. I’m doubly blessed because I have that on Russ’ side of the family as well. His mom is so thoughtful in putting together celebrations and I always anticipate how the table will be set and the colors she will use!And the cake presentation – beautiful. Yummy too. We enjoyed this festive carrot cake. It was a beautiful day. Much different than Palm Sunday a week ago, when we awoke to howling wind and blowing snow.

The boys enjoyed playing outside and could hardly wait until after we ate lunch so they could hunt Easter eggs. Dad and Mom hid several eggs throughout the yard, and Sam and Dellen had a blast! Russ took these pictures of the boys and I adore them. Afterwards, we all headed to the park and enjoyed the rest of a wonderful afternoon together. Blessings indeed!
