We had a quiet Easter this year, but it was so neat to celebrate some of what we (Aaron and I) remember from our childhood with our boys. Austin and Jonathan are at an age now that they fully understand and enjoy it. We had a sweet morning devotion with the boys before going to church. The boys have been really fascinated by the Easter story. Their favorite parts being the Roman soldiers who were "MEAN" and the stone being rolled away from the empty tomb. After church and nap, we blew out some eggs which was a perfect opportunity to talk about the empty tomb. Of course ended the day with some Brazilian Easter Egg goodness.
For me, by far, the highlight of the day was the boys wake up conversation. One saying to the other, "It's Easter! It's Easter! We get to celebrate JESUS today." A quiet, simple Easter it was - but the meaning was clear as the early morning sun!
He is Risen!
