Our Easter Weekend

On Saturday we visited the Easter Bunny at the mall! Lillian did not really want to touch him with her hands, but she did not mind sitting with him for a quick picture and even smiled! Uncle Mark spent the weekend with us and brought along his new dog Russel (still think it is a bad name Mark). Lillian loved him, and he was really the perfect size for her to play with. On Sunday Shaun, Lillian, myself and Mark all went to church and then over to Tina and Steve's for a yummy Easter lunch. Then we went to Leeds to visit with my family and by the time we got home everyone was pretty exhausted.

This past Easter was very special for Shaun and I, because it was our first Easter with Lillian. We had spent the week leading up to Easter Sunday reading the Easter story at bed time and praying for her, that she will one day come to understand and know the the sacrifice that Christ made. How wonderful and humbling it is to know God's love, and as parents it is our main goal to be examples of that love for Lillian.

"But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed......"You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen!"
Mark 16:1-3;8
