The last word on our Easter

Preston's Easter basket had the last 2 stories for our Jesus tree. Through our lent season I think we completed 35 stories of the 47 I wanted to do.  We got to share many of the stories from our tree with visitors who would come to our house.  After we told the new stories, we got ready and went to a near by park and had a lovely picnic breakfast with close family friends. 
 It was an amazing spread of muffins, fruit, yogurt and much more. Preston and his friends had fun playing at the playground and when we were done eating we went across the street to begin the egg hunt.

Preston had fun finding the eggs we dyed the day before and the ones I filled with yogurt covered raisins. 

Isabella slept in Grammies arms most of the morning. At 9am we came back home and got ready for church. 

 We actually remembered to get a family picture afterward. Then everyone took a nap while I cooked a huge spread for dinner. We had our lent small group over and broke our fast with communion.
 It was a memorable day full of fun, friends, and celebrations over our Savior. All day Preston kept saying, "He is Risen" which we would respond "He is Risen Indeed!"
Grammie provided some entertainment for the kids when dinner was over. Her Jack and Jill story is always a hit.
