Easter joy

Reading the "story about Jesus on the cross" and "Jesus coming out of the tomb" have been a nightly request over the last couple weeks.  Joshua reports his favorite part of the story is "when Jesus gets arrested by the soldiers, because it is so cool."  I never thought of Jesus' arrest as cool but when I consider that it is a fulfillment of scripture and another example of Christ's willingness to take on my guilt, "cool" is a good descriptor.  
The Egg Hunt at MSU was a hit.  Joshua and I strategically placed ourselves at the back of the hunting area in hopes of buying us a little extra time to collect eggs because...
...before long the mob of people waiting at the front of the hunting area made it our way. Joshua had a blast. And even though the hunt lasted 25 seconds at the very most, he enjoyed every second of it.
Easter pictures have never been a huge success at our house.  And for a few minutes I was afraid this year would be no different. 




But then Dave worked his magic and got Joshua laughing and instantly the Easter pictures everyone hopes for started coming quickly.




We hope you had a Happy Easter!
