A Special Celebration

Jesus may have been able to rise from the dead in 3 days but I was not able to get these pictures up in a reasonable amount of time, I guess that's why He's the Almighty and I, a mere mortal!

Regardless, Easter was a wonderful day spent with church family and friends, remembering and praising God for sending His son to die for us so that we may live with Him forever! That sounds like a pretty great thing to celebrate!

The day included everything from worshiping at our home church of First Baptist Church of Los Altos, egg hunts and eating our fair share of calories!

Here are a few pictures from the day!

I tried "pink rollers" in Nora's hair for the first time.

They didn't take at all and just made her hair look scraggly!
Oh well, my mom did it to me so I had to give it a shot with Nora!

It was too cold to go outside so the hunt was done indoors!

Liam and Nora, enjoying their spoils!

Post "Sunday Best" and much more comfortable!

Paul plays this tree game with Nora where he pretends he is a tree and chops himself down on top of Nora, well here he is doing it to Liam.

Liam thought it was somewhat amusing/somewhat strange!

At the end of the day I remembered we had gotten these lovely headdresses and I couldn't let Easter go by without adorning them! Paul didn't want a picture taken with him in one!
P.S. Thanks Carolyn for the headbands, they were a hit!
