Easter morning

Lest you get bored of all my Easter pictures, I've divided them up in to several posts. I already posted a few pictures of Easter. Here are the pictures from Easter morning from 8am until noon (haha).

Here is a picture of all four children before church.

And just the girls in their newly-sewn Easter dresses. I finished them on Friday night. I had them mostly done up to that point but just needed to put the zipper in Eliza's dress. It was a Simplicity pattern and they really came together in about two or three evenings each. They went with the atypical Easter shoes and wore their boots, but it actually was quite cute.

If you're going to have a photo of just the girls, then you must have a photo of just the boys. . .

Sorry, no new Easter outfits for the boys.

Sunday School on Easter is typically a bit different. Instead the focus is on "Sunday School as a Family". This year we were treated to making our own Resurrection Egg sets. We already have a set but this set included a few different items. One can never have too many visuals when it comes to teaching the kids the story of Resurrection Weekend. The eleven items we put in our eggs were: palm branch, bread (crouton), 3 dimes, purple cloth, thorn (a real one!), twine, cross, nail, sign "King of the Jews", sponge and a rock. The twelfth egg is empty.

One more picture outside of church after a wonderful service. The choir was fantastic. The decorations inside were joyous. The sermon was memorable.

After Sunday School, we went to visit Seth's Grandparents.

Eden is showing Great-Grandma her dress.

And then it is Eliza's turn to be admired.

We brought in our new Sunday School Resurrection Eggs to show Great-Grandpa & Great-Grandma. The kids did an excellent job explaining the meaning behind each symbol in the eggs.

Okay, now that we're done here, it is off to Grandpa Arlin & Grandma Donna's for lunch!
