Easter 2011

HAPPY EASTER!

We had a really great day, celebrating Christ's Resurrection.... Great morning at church, followed by a fun lunch with Uncle Steve at the Olive Garden.  Mmmmmm.  My parents called us on Skype from Jerusalem, where they were sitting a few feet away from the VERY EMPTY tomb of Jesus!  What a place to celebrate Easter!  Watched the RAYS game, then off to our friend's house to hang out for a while and eat dessert.  All was very fun and relaxing and family oriented, which we loved.  

These kids have a great time with their Uncle!

As does THIS kid!  I had to post this picture because Ryan looks like a CRAZY Uncle... and also to show off Eli's kind-of-hilarious mosquito bites!  You know, and his insane eyelashes!

We really enjoyed this Lent, Holy Week, Easter Season... we had quite a few really good conversations with Ben and Carly throughout the last few weeks about Christ's sacrifice for us and it was just really cool to watch them grasp God's Love even more.  Many "meaningful" family moments, that I know Ryan and I aren't soon to forget.  A whole season of thankfulness and awe, perfectly blended together. 

And I'll never know how much it cost

to see my sin upon that cross...

So here I am to worship

Here I am to bow down

Here I am to say that You're my God

and You're all together lovely

all together worthy

all together wonderful to me.
