Celebrations


It was a week of celebration. First the Seder dinner on Wednesday night. We had 36 around the table celebrating God's redeeming love. The kids all took part in retelling the Passover story. Special thanks to Bill for the photos.

Tabitha and I hunted eggs in the grass on Saturday morning. More accurately, she hunted eggs and I picked them up. She refused to step foot on the soggy grass and wouldn't even consider reaching down to pick up an egg. Her hands might get wet!


An Easter musical called "Bow the Knee" reminded us of the sacrifice Jesus made for us. Next year I'll have to take some kleenex.

Sunday morning we awoke to shouts of surprise. "You said the Easter Bunny was on vacation this year!" Sunday service reminded us again of the impact Jesus makes on our lives and on the response that is required of us. Then to the folks for a traditional Easter dinner and another egg hunt. The surprise at this hunt was that we actually spotted the Easter bunny. He was very still and more than a little frightened.



This is one of the best moments of the day. Jessica was searching desparately for an egg in the vicinity, but she never spotted it. Can you?
