Easter

Just wanted to update you on our wonderful Easter Celebration! Lexi and I woke up Saturday morning with two wonderful Easter baskets. Tre, being the thoughtful guy he is, surprised us with all of our favorite goodies in a basket filled with plastic eggs! He then began to prepare the feast that we would be eating the next afternoon. This consisted of peeling potatoes and diving into the thawed turkey. He had decided to prepare most of the food on Saturday, so that he could focus on the meaning of Easter during church.

On Sunday, we went to church and were blessed to be apart of a wonderful time of worship and celebration. I have to say the part that touched me most was the teen’s skit. Several teens have spent weeks practicing their version of the Lifehouse “Everything” skit that is popular on YouTube. I am sure I am slightly bias, but they were incredible! I, along with several others, was so touched that the tears just seemed to flow. Tre recorded the whole thing; so when he edits the video, we will put it on the blog.

After church, we had a few friends come over for a home-cooked meal. We had a great time on the porch as we enjoyed the sunshine and delicious food. Tre had baked a turkey, made mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, Mac and cheese, and rolls! We even ate on the china that we received when we got married. All in all, it was a great day to celebrate our risen Savior and the friends He has blessed us with. We hope that you were able to be with loved ones on this special day of celebration!
