And Exhale

Just took a long deep breath; a cleansing breath. Yesterday, like most Easter's, was a rushing whirlwind for me, and I loved every minute. There are so many things that I love about Easter, let me give you a run down:

• I love how pretty my girls look in polka dots.
  
• I love, love, love the Easter Egg Hunt, and the kids running around surrounded by eggs.
  
• I love that we added an Adult Egg this year with a $25.00 gift card to Panera Bread. Congrats to Betty Moore.
• I love seeing friends that I haven't seen in a while. Church is a gathering place on Easter, and in someways a reset button of faith. People that have been far from God can pick up where they left off in practicing their faith.
• I love the sugar rush (not mine) that I see in my girls as they run in circles and squeel.
• I love going out to lunch with my family and hearing about the things they enjoyed about Easter services at their churches.
• I love the baskets of home made candy my mom makes.
• I loved worshipping with members of my family that I had never worshipped with before on Easter.
• I love Jesus, the reason for the whole thing.
  

It was a great Easter!
