Family Celebration

We spent Resurrection Sunday at the Wittenbergs. I sent this quote to my dear friend Shannon 'We read the account tonight of Jesus' death, burial and resurrection and it was a blessing because this year I could tell that Laura was really understanding the seriousness of what Jesus did and does for us through his death. She even drew the correlation between the Passover lamb and Jesus, our perfect lamb whose blood was also shed..which replaced the old covenant blood on the doorpost."


..and while easter egg hunts are not really a part of our Resurrection Sunday celebration, it is a fun tradition that Barb's family has always done for the children. This egg hunt was no exception! Cousin Tom and his wife Annie had hidden them in some great places!
