Easter in Batesville

Halle loves dressing up! Here she is all decked out with her new purse from Gran-Gran:Cate and Mema:

On Sunday morning the kids (Jake, Caleb, Halle & Cate) and I sat down and looked at the Resurrection Eggs before we did Easter Baskets. Unfortunately something (the spear, I think) in one of the eggs upset Halle- she started crying and didn't want anything more to do with Easter (ha!) Daddy had to carry her while they did the treasure hunt for the Easter baskets. By the end she was excited again.

Here they are finding the last egg with the last clue:The "treasure" they found:Cate went straight for the food (baby puffs):Because of the rain, we "hid" eggs in Gran-Gran's gym for the kids to "find" (as in, run around picking eggs up off of the floor!) Halle did NOT want to give up her loot:Cate was happy to sit the egg hunt out!JD and his sister, Kristi:We LOVE Gran-Gran's gym!

Halle's favorite song for the past few weeks has been "Mighty to Save"- and her favorite line is, "...forever, Author of salvation, He rose and conquered the grave, Jesus conquered the grave!" (There is probably not another 2 year old on the planet going around singing that all day long!)

While we were in Batesville, I heard her tell her cousins, Easter is when Jesus conquered the grave (she obviously has been told that a couple of times) and then she said, "Do you know what 'conquered the grave' means? It means Jesus won!"

I love it. Our little evangelist! :)
