Hoppy Easter

Yesterday was Mattie's first Easter. No, we didn't have baskets or egg hunts, but we did go to church (see photo) and to grandmother's house for a family meal. The sermon was so good that Mattie kept crying out "Amen" (or at least, that is what I am telling myself those noises were), so I listened to some of it in the Narthax, but I enjoyed the lesson all the same.

Maybe next year we will have all of the other stuff, but it was nice to be able to focus on Easter's true meaning without the commercialism getting in the way (she says as she stuffs her face with one more Cadbury egg). We are so blessed to have found such a nice church and church family. I hope Mattie will learn to appreciate what it is to grow up in church. He is certainly ready though. Yesterday he received two bibles (add that to the two he received at his birth, and this child has got the New Testament covered!)

Blessings to you all!
