For as many years as we have lived in Colorado, Easter Sunday has always dawned bright and sunny, even if a little chilly. Imagine how it felt to wake up to this! No outside easter egg hunts for the kids this year! Nevertheless, it was no less of a supremely WONDERFUL day to CELEBRATE the ressurection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. If we think the troubles of this world are bad now, imagine how awful it would be had He not come to earth to die for our sins, so that we may have the hope of everlasting life!!! We love you Jesus!
As is our tradition, our "orphan" friends and us got together to celebrate our annual "Orphan Easter Dinner." No, this does not actually have anything to do with technical orphans - rather, we use the term to describe those of us who are here in Colorado Springs with no other family to celebrate holidays with. We sometimes do this on Thanksgiving too.
The kids had a fun time searching for their hidden easter baskets, which included candy inside plastic eggs and a couple of fun, small gifts!
