Easter 2012




This Easter, we stayed at our house and my family came to visit us.  Saturday night, we colored Easter eggs, which Aiden had been talking about for weeks beforehand.  We had recently watched a video of last Easter with Aiden dying eggs and he loved watching himself splashing the eggs in the "paint".  He couldn't wait to do it again! 

My little smurf
The grass was of course the best part!
My lil hillbilly!  The pliers are a "thing" right now.   He calls them his "handy crane" and picks up everything with them!   Also, his beef jerky from Nonna.....yes, know its horrible for him but he would rather have this than candy and he needs the calories :) 

Notice all the "boy" and "girl" colors....it aunt Shelby and sis found a blue or green egg, Aiden immediately switched it out. They were only allowed to have pink and yellow, but this quickly changed to JUST pink by the time they were done hunting. 




I love this song we sang at church, and what a great reminder of why we are really celebrating.

Christ Has Risen by Matt Maher

Let no one caught in sin remain
Inside the lie of inward shame
We fix our eyes upon the cross
And run to Him who showed great love
And bled for us
Freely You've bled for us
Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake come awake
Come and rise up from the grave
Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with Him again
Come awake come awake
Come and rise up from the grave
Beneath the weight of all our sin
You bowed to none but heaven's will
No scheme of hell no scoffer's crown
No burden great can hold You down
In strength You reign
Forever let Your church proclaim
Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake come awake
Come and rise up from the grave
Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with Him again
Come awake come awake
Come and rise up from the grave
O death where is your sting?
O hell where is your victory?
O church come stand in the light
The glory of God has defeated the night
Sing it o death where is your sting?
O hell where is your victory?
O church come stand in the light
Our God is not dead He's alive He's alive
Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake come awake
Come and rise up from the grave
Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with Him again
Come awake come awake
Come and rise up from the grave
Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake come awake
Come and rise up from the grave
Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with Him again
Come awake come awake
Come and rise up from the grave
Rise up from the grave
