An empty tomb

Today we celebrate an empty tomb. Jesus Christ is RISEN from the dead! He has conquered sin. He has provided a way for us to have eternal life with Him. Alleluia!





Our Easter has been wonderful. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day, both in weather and in spirit. Katie came to church with us on Good Friday and again on Easter. We had a wonderful time at church, worshipping our RISEN Lord, and hearing a powerful sermon from Pastor Jim. After church Anya got to see some Easter bunnies in the church "HUB". They brought in some real bunnies for the kids. It was very cute!


From Christ Community we drove to Grandma and Grandpa Nilsson's house for our Easter celebration with them. Anya was completely spoiled with gifts and baby treats from them. We had a wonderful brunch made by Grandpa: egg casserole, muffins, parfaits, and sparkling orange juice.
From their house we drove to my parents to celebrate with them. Anya went on her first Easter egg hunt. Eggs filled with graham crackers...what more could a girl ask for?! She also got to use her new swing and favorite toys at their house. We had a yummy pork roast, mashed potatoes, and roasted asparagus. Anya stuffed herself!



Anya was such a trooper today! She had such a bad cold and you would never have known. She hardly slept all day and still played well and had a smile on her face. Love that girl!!







What a beautiful Easter day! What did you do to celebrate Jesus' resurrection?
