Easter

Before I forget, I received all the Noonday items which we will be giving away in order to help raise the funds for purchasing 5 tables and 30 chairs for our carepoint Ngungwane in Swaziland, Africa.  You guys, this giveaway is going to be huge.  Like gigantic.  Like $704 worth of awesome.  I would love to get the giveaway fundraiser posted this week, but I’m still looking for a good way to accept donations…a safe, secure site that is tax deductible would be crazy good.  If you have any recommendations, I would love to hear about them.

On to Easter.  This year may have been one of my most favorite Easters.  I don’t know if it was just how relaxed it was…easy going…not crammed to the brim or maybe it’s this place of waiting God has our hearts or maybe it was how much fun Amon was this year or maybe it was going to our night service vs. a morning service or maybe it was singing In Christ Alone in which I always burst into tears or maybe it was a combination of it all.  Yes.  Most definitely a combination of them all.

Hunting eggs and eating candy far too early in the morning thanks to Nina & Baba.

I didn’t even take very many pictures.  Was a little bummed about my lack of photo documenting, but sometimes you’re just having a bit too much fun.  You may remember how I am about our kids clothes…you may die, but Easter is the same.  We wore our regular clothes…we even got fancy and the kids had donut holes and yogurt for Easter dinner.

And seriously…our church had a dude taking everyone’s pictures.  I love this picture…not because I think we look all hot and fancy and cute, but because this is just us.  Every Sunday.  Susan goes to church with us and we’re a big bunch of yahoos marching in there each week, so I loved documenting our little group on such a special occasion.

So how was your Easter?  I hope it was great.  And now we’re ready to take on another week.  I have a feeling it’s going to be a really good one.

Happy Monday.
