Happy Easter!

We had a wonderful Easter yesterday. Exhausting, but wonderful. God is so good to allow us to be a part of what he is doing.

Yesterday morning started bright and early for Gunnar. He had to be at church by 6 for the sunrise service at 6:30. Grace and I decided to pass that one up as we knew it was going to be a long day and I didn't want Grace to be cranky. We got to church around 8 and hung out there for a couple hours until the 10:30 service. While we waited, we hung out with our friends, Grace helped moved some furniture and we took some pictures.

Church went really well. I hear Gunnar did a great job as always, but it was my week for Sunday School, So I wasn't actually there to hear him speak. The kids are not dismissed until after the song time and announcements. Grace is so cute during the singing, she stands next to me and holds her hymn book and sings. After church, Grace rushes out every week to see Baby Jane. Now as anyone who knows Grace knows, she is absolutely in love with babies. So she sits next to Jane and talks to her and holds her hand.

After church we headed home and had pizza with some friends. We took a nap once they left and then headed down to my parents house for Easter dinner/Michael's birthday dinner.

We hadn't all hung out as an extended family since my birthday in December, so it was a treat to get to spend time together. Grace was really cute, talking to and kissing Ann's belly. She can't wait to be a big cousin. I am sure Ann will post more about Birthday dinner, so I suggest checking out her blog later.

All in all, we had a busy, blessed Easter. I am so glad that I serve a God who is alive! I am so thankful for each day of life he gives. :)
