Easter 2011

Getting ready for the Easter bunny with her feet in her mouth (she loves her feet!)

Looking pretty

We had a great weekend celebrating Easter with our families. We were blessed to be able to have both sets of grandparents with us this weekend, along with Aunt Allison, Dan and Nana. We were sad Aunt Sarah wasn't able to be there, but she will be home in ONE week for the summer. We are so excited for her to be home!

It was especially special celebrating the resurrection of Christ with Lyla for the first time. Adam and I have such a huge responsibility that we have been blessed with in raising Lyla. We desire for her to know the Love of her Father and Creator. While I cannot wait for her to be able to run around and hunt easter eggs and see the excitement of finding what is hidden inside of them, I am even more excited to see her grow as a daughter of the most High. I cannot wait until she can understand how important Easter is and what it means to us. LIFE! While we love her more than anything, and would do anything for her, her heavenly Father already did everything for her. I am so glad He entrusted Adam and I to teach her.

So, until next Easter when she will most definitely be running around looking for those colorful eggs, I can enjoy teaching her about Jesus and what He did for us on the Cross.
