We had another blessed Easter this year, despite the fact that we weren't able to see either of our families. The day started early, around 6:00, as Pierce came into our room excited to see what the Easter Bunny had brought! The EB knew we were desperate for some warm weather pj's (hence the t-shirt my child is wearing!) since he brought multiple pairs. Along with candy, sidewalk chalk, books, and a few small toys. Pierce insisted on putting on his muscle shirt pj's and showing us his super big muscles!!
My favorite part of the day was probably heading to church, along with the annual tradition of putting a flower on the cross. As fun as the Easter Bunny tradition is, we talked more this year about the true meaning of Easter and why we celebrate it. Not only at Easter, but now throughout the year, Pierce make so many references to the Bible and church. I'm glad to know that some of it is starting to sink in.
This Easter was also a milestone for no more peter-pan collars, smocking, and more big boy clothes! I mean, he's almost 4 and 1/2 years old...I've got to suck it up that my baby is growing up. It just makes me sad!!
Our friends, The Baker's, came over to have Easter lunch with us. It was lots of fun! The kids were very good and thought they were big eating in the kitchen by themselves. Kathryn and her mommy made a yummy bunny shaped cake, and we had a final egg hunt for the kids. Kathryn found the golden egg!!

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life."
P looks very handsome in his big boy clothes :) Great family pic!
