It’s Easter a day early at our house

HAPPY EASTER!!!  This morning we had our egg hunt (that’s right…you are NEVER too old to have an egg hunt.)  At least that’s what my kids tell me.  They begged me to do one this year, because I haven’t in so long.  (they are teenagers!).  It was fun watching them nearly knock eachother over to find the them.  Ha!!  I also haven’t done Easter Baskets for them in a while.  I’d usually just buy them a video game and a one pound bunny – but every year they get so much – that I thought I’d get them a basket full of special treats!!  Don’t tell them I posted these pics…they still have their sleepy heads on.  LOL!

  Here are a few of the really cool little things I found for them!  They were thrilled.  :)

HAVE a BLESSED EASTER!!!

Happy Easter!

I am so Grateful that God sent his Son to die for me that many years ago and that today I am still saved by his blood, and his amazing Grace.  Thank you God, for Jesus and your never failing love. 

This afternoon the kids and I decided to go for our annual walk at Stony Swamp.  We love to visit this place, because the chickadees fly really close and feed right out of your hands – if  you stand still enough.  The kids say it’s an adrenaline rush when you feel their little feet and wings fluttering.  This was one time I really wished I’d had had a better camera.

We also watched the squirrels and chipmunks eat seeds and nuts that others had left for them.

We got some really cool pics of nature at it’s best.  I don’t know about you, but I find nature very artistic!!  AND just plain freakin’ cool!!  Check out these pics!

AND what would a beautiful walk on a beautiful Sunny Good Friday afternoon be, without some portrait shots??  Don’t laugh at my attire.  I was dressed for comfort!!

Easter Baskets

I must admit that in the past couple of years, I haven’t really done anything for the kids for Easter.  You know…they are kind of old to get chocolate and don’t believe in the Easter Bunny so I figured what’s the point??  BUT this year, I am really feeling the Easter Goodness.  I guess it must be because this year I am VERY excited that Spring has arrived.  It was a loooooong winter – that’s for sure!

I put these together for the kids.  I can’t wait to give it to them! 

Those cards inside are handmade – of course!  Something else I’ve never done for the kids.  Here’s a close up of them.  :)

And here’s a couple of extra cards I made.  Enjoy your Monday!
