We had a wonderful Easter weekend with our family, and I am... EXHAUSTED. But in a good way :-). On Friday we had the opportunity to go to Ohio to have lunch with our sweet friends the Navarres, who moved a few months ago. We all picked up right where we left off and had a wonderful time catching up. Friday night was spent at church. Good Friday is such a special day for all of us who believe in Jesus Christ - somber, yes, but such an awesome opportunity to reflect on the amazing sacrifice that has bought us new life. Greg and I, my mom and dad, my sister and brother-in-law, and all of our kids were there, and it was a very special night spent as a family.
Saturday was our annual neighborhood Easter egg hunt and pizza party, and as always, a good time was had by all!

...and then, thankfully, an afternoon of naps before heading over to my sister's for a wonderful Easter dinner.
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.
John 11:25-26
