We had a beautiful Easter this year. So much about Easter is already wonderful, our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave his life for our sins, that we might spend the rest of time in heaven with Him... the day to day blessings the Good Lord provides for us.. this wonderful country that we live in, where we have the freedom to serve our Lord... we are a blessed people. And then, to top it off this year, not only do we have our dear little Abbie.. but we also had the most amazing weather.. which in New England.. can be tricky... Easter can be warm and it can be freezing... we had warm this year!!!!
Before church, Abbie was given her little Easter basket. We tend to keep Easter as a celebration of the Lord (and leave the bunny out of it).. but we do give gifts in celebration....
The little eggs contained many "goodies".. but a special one had a new "passie"....
just checking to make sure we found all the things that might be inside....
then it was time for church. A new outfit.. and how lucky that could be shown off... (often times a winter coat needs to cover the new outfits!!!)
The bell choir sounded just beautiful. I felt sad that I wasn't a part of it.. but one has to make the practices. Still though it was great fun to be able to sit and listen.. when you "play" you don't get to do that....
And because I wasn't in the choir, Chester got to go to church as usual. He pretty much sleeps thru the whole service......
Beautiful lilies decorated the front of the church.
And a special cupcake was waiting for Abbie during the "coffee time".....
Then it was onto Rachel's for a family get together. She and Naomi had made up a special egg to celebrate Abbie's first Easter.
And a table with a great dinner waiting for us.
Time spent with Great Grandpa......
and cousin Naomi......
And a grand day spent with family ended in the arms of Uncle John and a cup of "milk"..
I hope that all my blogger friends had as Blessed Easter as we had... and that the Good Lord will be a part of your lives as He is in ours.....
