Easter 2009

Saturday morning the kids awoke to special Easter baskets awaiting them on the kitchen table. Then we participated in the annual Oakhurst Egg Hunt. The kids got to meet the Easter bunny and gather candy-filled eggs w/ other kids. Then we headed to the mall to finish purchasing our Easter outfits.

Saturday evening, we attended the Easter service at church. It was an incredibly powerful and creative presentation of the gospel message. They had a Stomp routine, full choir, special artist Sarah Kelly, human video, biblical drama with live animals, etc...

Sunday morning, we arrived at church bright and early in our Easter best outfits. In Kid's Connection Rye & I presented character monologues as part of the creative gospel message. I played Mary Magdelene and Ryan played Peter. I helped to lead worship at the end of service. It all came together to make a great Easter service for the kids.

After church, we met the rest of the Brody clan at Buca's for a special Easter lunch. Then we headed over to Grandma and Papa's house for another Easter egg hunt. What a fun weekend for the kids! And what great experiences we shared in church, in the neighborhoods, and as a family. :)
