Yesterday was our church Easter egg hunt. The kids were so excited! 
Above is Josiah, Mackenzie, Lauren, and Allison. 
Josiah being silly with his basket on his head just before the egg hunt started.
We wore long sleeve clothing as it was cold! Maybe this coming Sunday, for Easter, we'll get to wear more traditional Easter clothing. ;)
Josiah hunting eggs on the playground.
What a basketful of eggs! We shared some of the ones he found with other children that did not find as many since there was a 12 egg limit per child.
He was very proud of all his eggs.
What a cutie!
Here goes Mackenzie! We were a little late to her egg hunt as we were finishing Josiah's hunt. They are divided per age group in different areas.

My sweet girl.
I like this one of her on the hillside.
Josiah loves climbing this tree.
So I figured I'd snap a picture of him in the tree!
Precious girl. A bit disappointed as she found very few eggs (4 or 5, I think) and noticed LOTS of eggs in other children's baskets. She is a rule keeper and has trouble understanding why other people do not follow the rules...remember the 12 eggs per child. We tried to explain to her that it was okay. She would have a great Easter, and at least one of the other kids who did find a lot of eggs may not have as much for Easter due to his family circumstances. She was still disappointed. So, we pulled down eggs from the attic and let her count them out for an egg hunt at our house during H2H (Heart to Heart Bible Study Group). She enjoyed that and it seemed to make the day better for her!

We love the celebrations, but the fact that our Lord Jesus died on the cross and has risen from the grave defeating death for us all is nothing short of AMAZING. For this I am eternally grateful. May you all have a blessed Easter!

You got some great pictures of both sweet kids. I love Josiah's smiling face in the one with his basket on his head.
Neither one of my kids got 12 eggs, but I was happy because that meant less candy they would want to eat.
