Scott, Jenny and I headed up the Easter Adventure at church again this year on Saturday, April 8th. I didn't take nearly enough pictures, but that was because we were having such a fun time.
We did get a picture in front of the Bunny Booth though. This year we changed a few things to make the flow of the event work better. One of those was moving the Bunny Booth toward the exit instead of the entry. It really worked out well.
All the volunteers gathered together in the lobby to pray over the event.
There is no way this event could be what it is without all these lovely people. They are so committed to serving our community! One of the coolest things we added this year was a prayer table where people could come over and ask for prayer. I saw numerous people throughout the event getting prayed for. It was awesome!
Brenda is always my "go to gal" for being the Bunny Bouncer. She's the one that hangs out with the Bunny and makes sure that the Bunny gets a break and then she brings in a relief Bunny. It can be a "hary" job, but somebody's gotta do it. FYI...I'm pretty sure that's Jack in the Bunny suit!
The next day was Easter Sunday at Ga-Ga & Pa's
The normal crew was able to join us for the celebration. The Martin, Kuch & Oliver kids!
Love these goofy kiddos!
Look at these handsome older boys!!!
And these sweet younger dudes!!!
And these beautiful young ladies!
The beautiful table setting!
Pa filling up the glasses with sparkling cider!
Since the kids can't fit at the big table with all us adults we have them go through and get their food first.
Pa has a special table set up in the family room for the girls. The boys sit at the pub table which is in the breakfast nook, but no one got a picture of them this time. Oops!
Look at that yummy food! Ga-Ga made one of my favorite meals No Peek Chicken!
Look at these adorably festive cookies. I believe Christina made them!
The weather was not nice this year so we had to hide the eggs inside. It's always a bit more chaotic, but it works out! If I remember right someone was missing an egg...not sure if we forgot where we hid it or if there was a miscount from the beginning...who knows, but it wasn't the end of the world. :)
Ga-Ga had all the kids Easter Baskets lines up on the stairs.
Ella always gets different stuff since she can't have any dye.
Everyone going through their baskets. There was some trading going on!
Addison just loves to play around with other peoples hair. She did this amazing French braid for Ella!
With her hair so long and curly it's so hard for me to do a French braid...it turned so good!
Such a fun day celebrating with friends and family. We know it's not about the eggs or the candy. It's about Jesus and how he died on the cross for all our sins and paid our penalty. He died so that we might have life! The best part was He didn't stay dead...the grave had no hold on Him just like death has no hold on us if we believe in Him. What a beautiful thing to celebrate!
