Happy Easter

 We had a wonderful Easter!  My day started early with an 8.5 mile run with a friend.  The weather was cool and perfect and it was great to be up early pounding the pavement and watching the sun rise:)
 The boys were so excited to see their Easter baskets and were busy for the rest of the morning playing with their new trains and excavators.  Tyson kept saying, "Mom, we aren't playing, we are working!"
 Tyson took this picture of Silas and I!  I am so excited he is old enough to work the camera:)
We headed off to church and had a wonderful and uplifting worship time with our church family.  They did cardboard testimonies which are always so powerful and touching.   
After church we enjoyed lunch out since we still don't have much of anything left in the house!!  The boys took naps, and Silas and I spent a lazy afternoon napping on the couch and watching the Masters on TV.  Perfection:) 
 After naps it was time to hunt Easter eggs in the backyard.  The boys were so excited!  Silas did a good job hiding them and the boys loved searching for their treasures. Tyson was the first one to find one of the "fancy eggs" that was filled with quarters:)
 Jace needed a little help but finally found his fancy egg:)  He was so happy and proud!
A rare picture of Tyson cheesing it up for the camera.  That boy just does not want to smile on command. 
Jace however, will cheese it up almost every time you ask:) 
 It was a great family day of relaxation and fun.  I had taken Tyson to our church's production of the Easter story yesterday, and it is so neat to be able to discuss the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ with him, answer his questions, and see his faith and understanding start to grow.  I am constantly humbled by how blessed I am and am reminded again of God's amazing love and perfect sacrifice on this beautiful day.
