Easter Sunday

It has been a very special Easter season this year. I think I made time to be quiet this week and reflect and worship. And Andre and I got to spend some good time in the evenings together. I didn't go out much either but stayed home a lot, by choice, which was good for all of us, I think.

Along with being quiet, I took some time in between keeping the children alive (ha!) to do some fun Easter decor/crafts I found on Pinterest (how did we live creative lives before Pinterest?!), which resulted in our mantle getting a wee makeover for Spring...






And our Easter table getting some love...




So that was fun. We really enjoyed our Easter Sunday today. We celebrated Jesus' resurrection at church this morning...


Started a tradition of Easter baskets with a chocolate bunny each...



Sophie looks like she's hiding her's from Jack...which is pretty much what she needed to do to keep his grubby paws off it!

Steve and Rach and little Wyn came for lunch along with our friend Vladimir. We missed Vera, his wife, as she was sick today and couldn't join us. The roast lamb, cooked by dear Hubby, was delish...

And the littlest cousins got a photo together...

Happy Easter all! We rejoice in and worship our Lord Jesus, who triumphed over sin and death and rose victorious!

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave!
