Easter, the Son has Risen

HAPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL!!



He is Risen, He is Risen Indeed! (I saw a great saying..it is not about the bunny, it's about the LAMB)


I stayed up way too late again, but had to complete the decorating and baskets for Easter. We had a nice church service. Followed by: Our second Easter egg hunt outback...which included 2 of the youngest and granddaughter

Why were these children trying to climb the garage walls? (the stone faced walls that Honey just put up end of summer...that may become loosened by egg hunting climbing girls)

Because "Honey" thought it would be great to watch the kids wonder how to get them when they are up so high...they will try anything!

My oldest, granddaughter's mama...watches on


Some more...2:00 AM Easter decorating



Loved the blue chickies in Easter baskets...cool colors



And yes, we colored eggs this weekend



What did you do today? We had an early Easter dinner with my brother and his son. Ham, potato casserole, pineapple bake, corn, applesauce, rolls...yum. We did not make dessert as we were going to my sis-in-law's for dessert later.
After dinner we got out "Ressurection Eggs" (decided to complete them, as some pieces were missing, and will do them with the family each year as the little ones are getting older...sob,sob)
It was nice to have brother there to take part...as he is not familiar with them at all. (Ask me about how to make them if interested) You have 12 eggs and open one at a time with a different item/verse in each one about Easter....the last Egg is the best...it is Empty......He Has Risen!!!!

Soon the kids will be back at school..off tomorrow yet. So sad and hard to get back into routine (I know..what routine? I try, honest, somehow). Just had to stay up late one more night (it is now midnight again..if these photos would load quicker..that is what takes me so long for each photo..any tips??) to say Happy Easter and show you how we celebrated our day...Even took a nice walk w/honey tonight too!
HAPPY EASTER FROM THE CAMPBELL'S

May you know the joy and hope that Easter brings as I leave you with this:
"We have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but no abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the Life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body." 2 Corinthians 4:7-10

Looks and sounds like you had a wonderful joyous day! I had a great day as well with family. Your sideboard display with the fresh flowers looked like something out of BH&G!
