Happy Easter! He is Risen!

Addie all ready for church in her Easter dress, hat and gloves!

We had a wonderful day celebrating with family and friends really the foundation that we base our life on...Jesus is alive!!! This morning our pastor was talking about if this isn't true then what's the point of our faith and we completely agree. Jesus was physically resurrected from the grave. What a blessing that we serve a God that is alive and is active in our daily lives!

A couple of weeks ago we visited some friends of ours church and in Addie's Sunday school class the kids all acted out the story of Jesus dying, being put in the tomb and then rising from the dead. This learning style must really impact Adelynn because this story and many details stuck in her mind. For the last couple of weeks we have been talking about the mean soldiers that killed Jesus on the cross, the heavy rock that was moved miraculously from the tomb, and that Jesus was now alive!! It really is amazing what a two year old can comprehend!

So, it was pretty funny this morning when we asked Addie why we were celebrating Easter...Keep in mind that for the last couple of weeks she would always answer, "Jesus is alive." or "Because Jesus is risen!" This morning it was like she had holiday overload, she was saying it was Christmas and we were celebrating because it was Jesus' birthday! Pretty funny, but she did get it straight later in the day.
