arizona easter

it was a joy to celebrate the resurrection of the saviour with the pothiers and my brother josh.
i love shawni’s family’s easter morning tradition – the easter bunny leaves the end of a string at
the end of each kid’s bed and they have to follow it all around the house and the yard (quite a web
with five strings!) to find their easter basket. this year the bunny left max’s basket in the pool!
  
i made brunch for everyone (with some help from the boy and the kids) – scrambled eggs
in hasbrown “nests” and strawberry stuffed almond crusted french toast.
 
after church and a lovely easter dinner we went to shawni’s in-laws for a massive easter egg hunt.
 
it was so fun to sit on the lush green grass under the sunsetty sky, so warm and happy and content.
  
{the boy kissed my cheek right as i was lamenting how toooooo much easter candy made me feel!}

what a happy day.
i am so grateful for the hope of so many more happy days to come because christ conquered death.
