Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to all our friends and family!

We were not sure if Carli would be able to celebrate Easter this year or not.  Early Saturday morning, Carli woke us up really sick.  She had that virus that had been running around at Mommy's school.  In fact, Mommy had it a few weeks ago.  Carli has always been healthy, but this virus did a number on her.  She didn't eat all day and laid around and wanted to be held most of the time.  We were not sure if she would be well on Sunday or not, but she got up and wanted milk and muffins.  We were so glad she felt better!

Earlier in the week, Carli's preschool celebrated Easter with an egg hunt.  It was all she could talk about for the days leading to the hunt.  She ran inside on Thursday with her bucket to show to everyone.  When she came home, she talked about it all night.  The bucket went everywhere with her on that day too.

Sunday morning, the Easter Bunny had visited our house.  Carli was excited to see her new basket he brought filled with lots of Hello Kitty stuff-crayons, coloring books, stickers, a notepad, and a bag to hold the crayons.  He also brought books, a chocolate bunny, and jewelry hidden inside the plastic eggs. 


At church, the children's choir sang, "He Arose".  Carli, true to form, just stood there looking around.  She might not have sung, but she was pretty standing there in her white robe. 

After lunch, Poppie, PawPaw, and Miss Sam (the children's minister from church) came for lunch.  Poor Grandma was sick and couldn't come.  Carli was quiet during lunch and wouldn't talk to anyone, especially Miss Sam.  But after lunch, when everyone was gone, Carli and Miss Sam had a fun time playing with Carli's new rings the bunny brought.

Our family hopes everyone has a wonderful Easter and remembers why we celebrate-our Lord was crucified, but arose from the dead!  Hallelujah!!
