happy easter, everyone! jarred and i have had a great week getting ready for easter sunday. sweet times alone reading, with each other, and with great friends here. one of my favorite things was a few articles i read about what would not have been if easter had not been 2,000 years ago. and needless to say, i am very thankful for the events of easter.
not nearly as important, but another thing i love about easter is easter baskets. easter baskets were really big in my house growing up. every easter morning we woke up to clues leading us around the house and finally ending at our basket. I mean, my sisters and i even got easter baskets in college, along with any friends that came home with us for easter weekend.
jarred and i were talking about this a few weeks ago. and then low and behold, he woke me up yesterday morning with a clue to start my hunt for my easter basket. always on top of details, jarred enlisted aaron and stacy to bring over a real easter basket, grass, and tons of easter candy which we then munched on all day. (check out the card if you can see it- this is what happens when stacy sends aaron to get the card for jarred to give me)
after our international fellowship, we had a fun lunch with some old and new friends, later followed by a big gathering with a few families we know for an egg hunt and dinner. jarred threatened to try to beat all the kids at the egg hunt, but we got there a little late. and i'm not sure that breakfast-for-dinner is an appropriate easter dinner, but it was good. and by kids, i mean a lot of little kids, all of them very happy at this point because their arms are full of plastic eggs with jelly beans inside.
