Easter

I hope to make Easter a more significant holiday in our family's life than the norm. Everyone can get behind a holiday that involves cute clothes, candy and looking for colorful eggs hidden by a big fuzzy bunny. What kid isn't up for that? But how lasting will it be if we can make James excited about celebrating our Risen Lord. I hope that next year, when James is a little more cognitively advanced (not that he isn't pretty bright already) we can find ways to create delight in the story of the resurrection and the hope and grace that results. I think we are off to a good start, thanks to the Byrd clan. We worshipped, feasted, delighted in family and yes, threw in a little egg hunting too. I am so thankful for family to celebrate along side us.

 Ready for church- not so sure about these shoes...

 It did not take him long to learn how to open the egg and find the...candy!!

 At the end of the day, he looked like this...Happy Easter!
