Happy EASTER Season!!

Easter is one of my favorite holidays...It's a "hope-filled season"!  It's a time for growth and renewing our spirits, starting fresh, and "hoping for the best".  Thanks to our Lord, who died on the cross, so that we might be saved... Easter is a SEASON to celebrate, not just for a day!

We enjoyed family gathering together once again in our home!

Here are Alan's parents and grandmother who were able to join us.

Our dear friend, Susie, joined our potluck dinner celebration too!

 Here' s my Dad and brother-in-law, Ken, enjoying a chat together.  Also, this is a time for "great aunts" to hold babies and catch up with nieces and nephews! Here's my sister Terry holding Landon, who is almost 3 months old here, and course, his mommy, Corissa!

It's a chance for great-grandmothers to enjoy the special little ones too!

Easter is a time to enjoy nice weather and spring flowers.  Here Grandpa supervises Cailyn feeding the fish in our pond...there really are fish in that lily-pad covered fish pond!

Of course, Easter Bunnies are a part of Easter too, and Cailyn was an expert egg-finder this year in the backyard.  Great-grandma and great-grandpa filled a dozen eggs, Aunt Alissa & Uncle Alan hid them, and Cailyn had lots of fun finding them.  (By the way, in all the photos I took, I somehow missed our son, Mike...he was definitely at our celebration...but was a very busy guy snapping his own photos of our celebration together!)

Here's Cailyn digging into her Easter bucket from Mimi and Grandpa!

This beautiful potted plant was a gift from Alissa and Alan!!  Love the colors, don't you?

And, nothing says Easter more than tulips...These were our table centerpieces!!

My wish is that your Easter Season continues to give you renewed spirits and hope!
