Easter is definitely not about the candy, the bunny or the hunt. Rather, Easter is the celebration of something so big, so huge, so amazingly beautiful that its hard to comprehend. To think that Jesus, knowing full well what was expected on him, obeyed his Father and submitted himself for our punishment. Jesus paid a debt I couldn't begin to pay.
During the sermon at church yesterday, it was presented like this: Say someone came to your house and offered to pay off not only your mortgage, but pay your kids college tuitions, all your debt and even send you on an amazing vacation. How could you possibly thank this person? Would it even be possible?
How much more do we appreciate Christ and that debt that he paid for us. That debt is so much bigger than a mortgage, college tuition, and any other debt I could accumulate.
Do I live my life in an ever present state of thankfulness for what the Lord has done? Do you?
Okay, after some pretty heavy thoughts, now on to a little fun:)
And how many pics does it take to get one good one of both boys? Lets count:
One
Two
Three
Four
Five
Six
Seven
Eight
NINE!
Actually, this is as good as we got. Seriously! I think Breven forgot his name there for a little while. You just can't come between a little boy and his chocolate. Once he discovered the eggs had food in them, he was unstoppable and ate everything that was in his basket. Luckily, there were only a few M & M's in each egg, otherwise who knows how much of a sugar rush he could have gotten:)

That's a great message but seriously you are going to give Jack Handy a run for his money with those deep thoughts!
Looks like you had a great Easter! We missed spending it with you! Maybe next year you'll get a picture of them both looking at the camera at the same time!
