Rejoice! He has Risen!

He has risen! It’s Easter.... it is the time of year to celebrate that glorious morning when our Savior rose from the grave.

Easter was never intended to be just one day. I recently read this week in a Focus on the Family article that "For most families, including Christians, God gets an hour on Sunday, and we get the rest of the day to hunt eggs and feast on sweets. There's nothing wrong with traditional Easter celebrations; it's just that those in themselves are not enough."

Something to think about this year as Easter Sunday has passed. I want my boys to know that God's love for us is not just a sentimental "thing" but it is strong enough that he allowed His own Son to suffer on our behalf.

Easter Egg-citement

These eggs were to "dye" for! Evan had so much fun dying eggs this year. He knew which color he wanted each egg to be. Colin dyed a few himself but would rather watch his brother create his masterpieces.

"On the Hunt"

A Bunny in Colin's lap and A Lamb trying his best to climb up too!

and Evan...he wanted NO part in this picture taking opportunity

REWIND

Yes, lets go back a few months. It has been a while since I have updated our blog. Time seems to fly by so quickly. These pictures will re-cap the "Hall Happenings" since February.

BASKETBALL

Colin played another season of Basketball for Stanfield. He enjoyed it. He loves any active sport. Even Evan wants to join in. It won't be long and he too will enter the world of organized sports.

"This is my ball and I am not going to give it up easily"




SESAME STREET LIVE

We took the kids to see Elmo....well really just Evan. Colin actually did not care to go but enjoyed watching his brother get so excited over Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster and the rest of the gang live on stage :)

Nature's Best just feet away...It never fails, during the winter months we can see deer almost weekly in the field behind our house...sometimes even 6-8 at a time.

GOT CHOCOLATE?????

Yes, Evan is a Chocolate Lover! He enjoys eating Nutella on a rice cake. Boy is he messy but he is enjoying every minute!
