Here are some Easter pictures. We had a good holiday, as we expected we would. Festivities started out a few days before when Averie dyed some Easter eggs with daddy.



On the Saturday before Easter, we went to a community Easter egg hunt and Averie and Tyler got to meet the Easter bunny, and made out like bandits!





On Saturday night, we read the Easter story to Averie, and then she promptly took her little kids' Bible and regurgitated the story back to us, Averie style. It was amazing how she simplified the story of Easter but left the essentials, that Jesus hurt, died, and then came back and was not dead anymore, and everyone was happy.

On Sunday morning we had our own Easter egg hunt. It seems the Easter bunny got our colored eggs and left them all over the yard, and then left some other goodies as well.




After church, our neighbors hid eggs for all the little kids in the neighborhood in the front yards of all our houses, and the kids did yet another hunt. (Took some work to explain that egg hunts really are not the focus of Easter) We then had a pot-luck dinner in the front yard with many of the neighbors, complete with ham, mashed potatoes, asparagus, sweet potatoes, butter braid, and some cocktails. :) We all got sunburned cheeks and had a good time.
