Happy Easter.....

...from us 4 Mehaffies! He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!!! The sermon this year focused on how Mary was alarmed, afraid and amazed when she went to the tomb and found it was empty. This should not have been so since He had Risen, "Just as He had Said". The pastor talked about how Jesus had called His shot. What comfort!

AFter church, we headed to our house to have late lunch/early dinner. It was the first time we had Easter at our house and we loved it! We just love having things/family at our house.

Also for the first time, we did my family's Easter Egg tradition of Cascarones. It was fun to crack these confetti filled egg shells. Here's Luke getting Isaac.
and Isaac getting Daddy :)
Poor Ruby was not so fond of the confetti. She was actually quite scared of it. Poor girl :(
and Isaac getting Simon.
It was fun and we're sure it'll be even more fun next year when the kids are alittle older. We also did a regular Egg Hunt that Alinna brought. It was amazing to see the kids really look for them this year since last year they needed so much help. Isaac would run all across the yard when he found one. We ended the day with our Easter Little People story to make sure they remembered that even though eggs are fun, Easter is to remember and celebrate that Jesus died on the cross for our sins, and was raised back to life again. Halleluia!

Also, as is our tradition (more like, my obsession) we all had hand made matching outfits. This year however, Luke made the decision to all have gingham but all different pastel colors, like an Easter basket (his exact words)!! Funny.

And just to brighten your day...here's a picture of the cutest, happiest, sweetest, cheeky-est baby EVER!
I love my family. Hope you enjoyed a wonderful Easter as well/
