Easter is one of my favorite Holidays because it's the celebration of our risen Savior. A celebration that death could not hold Him in the grave, but He is now alive in Heaven after paying the atonement for my sins. If that doesn't make you want to shout "Hallelujah!", I don't know what will.
We didn't have fabulous weather on Easter Sunday but it could have been worse (and often is in Oregon!). We celebrated with our church through singing and listening to God's Word, then we headed home. We had a light lunch because that evening we went over to Jeremy and Kristen's for dinner. Most of our small group couples were there along with a few others and it was a great feast of smoked ham, potatoes, rolls, vegetables, and lots of dessert. We enjoyed spending time with our friends and Peter's folks were gracious enough to come along too....I think they had a good time as well!
Of course Benjamin wasn't really in the picture taking mood (are any almost 15 month olds EVER in the picture taking mood?) but I tried to snap a few because he was oh so cute in his little suit. (Thanks for the suit Auntie Amanda.....even though it was 18months in size, we were praying that Benjamin wouldn't pop any buttons, ha ha ha!)
looking like a little stud in his suit!
his attempt at a baby GQ expression
CHEESE!
oh Benjamin, you are just adorable

we didn't get a picture with us all smiling at the same time.....oh well, these will have to do!
we are truly blessed!
He is Risen! He is Risen indeed!!
