"I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die."
-- John 11:25-26
Happy Easter Everyone!
On Easter Eve the girls planted magic jellybeans around the tree in the front yard (Pinterest idea). By morning the jellybeans had grown into Lollipops! Lily looked out her bedroom window and was so excited! She said "Mommy, they started to grow!" There were colorful lollipops all around the tree and 2 big bunny pops for each of the girls! Thank goodness for magic jellybeans! :)
We had a nice Easter...not too busy...just perfect. The kids ate way too much candy, didn't have a nap, and I wanted to pull my hair out by the end of the day, but still nice. :) Avery ate nothing but chocolate peanut butter eggs for breakfast and Lily basically didn't eat anything all day. We went to Church in the morning with my whole family and then my dad treated us all to Easter brunch at Granite City. The kids were pretty well behaved at the restaurant, but neither of them ate a thing. We headed over to Ma and Pa Mike's after brunch so they could get their Easter baskets from them...they are just a bit spoiled! After eating some more sugar we tried to lay them down for a nap at home, but Lily wouldn't have it. Avery slept for a little while. I thought they were both settled down and in bed so I left and enjoyed a nice quiet peaceful 8 mile run around Lake Zorinksy...busy place! I got home and Lily was still awake. Jason said she messed around in her room and never did fall asleep. Lily got the movie HOP from the Easter Bunny so we all cuddled up in the basement and watched it. Cute movie! I had set some chicken out for dinner, but I was tired and crabby and didn't feel like cooking so we went out to dinner. The kids weren't the best behaved and they were overly tired which equaled one crabby mommy! I think we all needed to just go home and go to bed...and we did!
Despite the sugar overload, no naps, and crabby kids we really did have a nice Easter. It is important to remember that Easter is not about the candy, the eggs, or the bunny. It is about our Lord, Jesus Christ who did the most amazing thing for all of us. He died on the cross and forgave our sins. Through his death, burial, and resurrection, Jesus paid the penalty for sin, which, for all who believe in Him, means an eternal life with Him.
I found it and I got HOP!
