Happy Easter

The Easter bunny made his annual appearance. Shortly after the youngest members of the family checked out their loot, a friend texted that she underestimated the amount of cinnamon rolls her new recipe would make. Would we be willing to take a pan full off her hands. Would we? Silly lady, of course we would! They were incredible.

 
We wrapped up our morning reading the Easter story with the aid of Resurrection Eggs. Ty knows the role of the donkey best but also comments throughout most of the symbols how sad the story is until the Happy Ending we celebrate today. It is a happy ending indeed.
Someone got bubbles in his bucket and oh boy can he blow those bubbles....he cracks me up.

And tonight....dinner with neighbors. Old friends who moved to Michigan (my husband will be upset I have even posted the name as he calls it the "state up north") a few months ago made a stop on their way through to Gatlinburg for their spring break this week. One neighbor hosted and several of us brought dishes. Since we couldn't be with family today, good friends were an awesome substitute. Sometimes I think God gives us surrogate family for support and encouragement along the way.
