Happy Easter...He is risen!

Today's photo was taken at my Great-Aunt Judy's house one Easter.  A tradition we had in our family was to see who could create the best Easter bonnet using items already in the house.  My mom was the queen and always had the best bonnet.  One year she wore champagne glasses, cheese and crackers on her head.  Mom mom is in the red dress standing behind the most beautiful me sporting the rainbow sweatshirt and kilt.  My Gram is in the center, yes the one preaching to us all to "Live for the living!" with my sister Heidi with the easter egg as her bonnet and my cousin Shawnacy. 

Easter is a time to celebrate!  Turn off your computer and join your family as we celebrate Jesus rising from the dead and the smell of delicious food wafting throughout the house.  Fellowship and family...I plan to enjoy both today! 

Celebrating Easter 2011...

We will start our Easter celebration with our church family, God's family as we worship at 8:30 a.m. at Community Alliance Church (4175 State Route 104) with breakfast to follow at 9:30 a.m..  There is another worship service at 10:30 a.m.  I encourage you to put on your Easter bonnet, whether it be store bought or homemade like ours and attend an Easter Worship Service this morning.  It will be a better day...always helps to remember why we celebrate!

We spent Saturday afternoon and evening with my parents.  A delicious dinner, buggy rides and hope...through the eyes of a child.  Check out my daughter's art work below.

Happy Easter!  Today's YouTube selection is one metioned earlier in the week.   Enjoy!
