This last weekend was Easter which is such a special time for not only our church as a whole but for our family. From Good Friday, remembering Jesus' death on the cross to celebrating His resurrection on Sunday, it is such a pivotal celebration for Christianity because we celebrate a RISEN Savior. It is humbling to think of what God has done for us and there is so much JOY as well in that sacrifice. So much love was displayed. There is such freedom in life with Christ and we look forward to sharing that with Ryder, not only on Easter, but hopefully as we live in the daily activities of a day with him...
So we started our Easter with our church, as well as other Orange County churches at the Orange County Fair Grounds.
It was incredible...
(To think that last Easter I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of Ryder and then to have him share this special celebration with us was such a blessing.)
That afternoon/evening, we dyed easter eggs and just hung out as a family. (During the business of these "holiday" seasons, it is so nice to just be home as a family...
The evening ended with us reading from The Jesus Story book bible about the resurrection. It was a great day and I am so thankful that we were able to have some quality family time!
