Here’s sweet Harper and Noelle dancing for Jesus!  After a church service led by Poppa in a way that we will never forget (thanks Dad), we all headed outside to see if the Easter bunny came.

The big girls knew what was going on and ran to their baskets… but Rose ran straight for the tractor and was as happy as could be, lol!

  

Rose was confused why we kept trying to get her to come check out her basket.  She’s so funny!

 

After she got a couple of things, she was back on the tractor!

 

Anna Kate’s basket ended up being full of random clothes I’ve been waiting to give her… she just kept pulling stuff out.  It was fun!

 

Now she gets it!  Next year, I’m pretty sure she’ll be after her basket!  Love.this.kid.

 

You can tell from the pictures above it was getting darker and darker and rain drops were beginning to fall, and right as we finished opening our baskets, it began pouring!!!  This is a picture of a sweet little cross Noelle painted for Rara one Easter a few years ago.  Rara is so creative and thoughtful how she keeps and displays the kids’ art… and at the perfect times.  This was such a special Easter reflection for me, seeing my kid’s art work as the rain was falling behind it, remembering the cross… and that today He arose!

I took this picture on Poppa and Rara’s front porch as the rain was falling down… breathing in being washed clean… reflecting my deep seeded hope in Him who is greater than all; with a thankful heart, treasuring the resurrection.
