Easter morning dawned sunny and bright, but church didn't beckon since we went Saturday night.
Mommy was sick, just a coughin' away as the children rose early in expectation of the day.
First on the list was a yummy breakfast.
Then there were eggs they set out to find.
Mom and Dad hid them and quickly they sought
the greens and the blues and the chocolates a lot.
They looked and they looked and a'plenty they found.
But Judsen found more interest in playing around.
Then came the baskets with goodies galore...most sent from Grandma with just a few from the store.
Then over came Nana for a big Easter lunch. We smiled and giggled and ate ham and buns.
With Turtle Bars for our sweet and punch in our cups,
our noon fare was soon over...time for some hugs!!
We then turned to Jesus...the real Hero of the day,
and opened our eggs to hear His story play.
Each shell held a piece of the tale told today to remind us of sacrifice, provision, and power of the day.
While Mommy took in an afternoon nap, Nana and Daddy taught dominoes in a snap.
A bit more tricky than anyone thought, the game ended later with only one player left in the lot.
Each year we remember how He came to set free
you and your friends and my family and me.
We recall what we looked like in 2009
and marvel at how He's changed us in just a year's time...
We're bigger and smarter and a bit more like Him,
and celebrated Jesus and the cross with a grin.
The End.
