We spent the first part of our weekend with Tyler's awesome family.  We spent Saturday playing a Wii tournament, decorating cookies, hunting for Easter eggs, eating a scrumptious supper [or dinner to Sarah, :) what do all you guys call your evening meal?]

Tyler won the Wii tournament and got the awesome prize of a cadbury egg!

We decorated lots of bunny, chick, and egg cookies

 guess who found the chocolate?

Great Grandpa came over just in time for the egg hunt!

Kelsey and the bug net - she's gonna kill me for putting this on here :)

After church on Sunday we had lunch at my Grandma W.'s house, Lincoln got to have another Easter egg hunt, Grandma Hunni and Grandpa got him a new trike that he doesn't want to stop riding, had supper with my family at Grandma Hunni's house and the day went way too fast!

Lincoln was getting a little tired as you can see in the picture....but isn't his hat just precious? oh my, I love it.

 Of course we had a great time this weekend and soaked up all the family time we could get but Easter isn't about that.  Easter is a time for us to remember the great sacrifice our Savior made for us on the cross.  He paid the ultimate price by bearing the sins of all of us by dying on the cross and then raising again.

He loves us more than I can even comprehend and this song just really describes it well.  Read the lyrics and then listen to the song by David Crowder.  Amazing to be loved like this.  I don't deserve it at ALL but he still LOVES me despite my failures.

He is jealous for me, Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,

Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.

When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,

And I realize just how beautiful You are,

And how great Your affections are for me.

And oh, how He loves us oh

Oh how He loves us,

How He loves us all

He is jealous for me, Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,

Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.

When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,

And I realize just how beautiful You are,

And how great Your affections are for me.

And oh, how He loves us oh,

Oh how He loves us,

How He loves us all

He loves us,

Oh how He loves us,

Oh how He loves us,

Oh how He loves.

And we are His portion and He is our prize,

Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,

If His grace is an ocean, we're all sinking.

And heaven meets earth like an unforeseen kiss,

And my heart turns violently inside of my chest,

I don't have time to maintain these regrets,

When I think about, the way…

That He loves us,

Oh how He loves us,

Oh how He loves us,

Oh how He loves.

Yeah, He loves us,

Oh how He loves us,

Oh how He loves us,

Oh how He loves.

Yeah, He loves us,

Oh how He loves us,

Oh how He loves us,

Oh how He loves.
