Sunday Snapshot - Easter!

He is risen!


He is risen indeed, alleluia!

Easter came to Drosche Land, as it did to all of you, and it was a great time!  We spent the first part of the long weekend preparing for the big day!  The Easter Bunny went shopping, eggs were hunted, eggs were dyed, more eggs were hunted after the Easter Bunny hid them, baskets were emptied, and candy was eaten, and then more candy was eaten.

I have to say though that I am so proud of my boys!  Despite all the fun of eggs and chocolate, they still truly remembered and acknowledged the real reason we celebrate Easter!  It warms my heart to know that they believe their Lord and Savior died and rose for them!  It was also a fun celebration because we totally took the time to remember that this time next year we will have one more little Drosche, in a spectacular Easter dress, who is excited about the big day!  I'm sure it will be here in no time!      

It was busy, but also a lot of fun.  We all needed a fun break and that's exactly what we got.  Jackson in particular has been looking forward to Easter for several weeks.  Now that the big day has finally come, and gone, who knows what he will become obsessed with next?  I'm so glad though that we have tomorrow off too though because, as often is the case, we need a day to recuperate from our holiday!  Tomorrow we have lots of relaxing, laundry, and more relaxing to do and I can't wait to get started on it!  I hope you all had a blessed Easter with your friends and family, celebrating the joyous season and, of course, eating some great sweets!

All is well, picture perfect, in Drosche Land.

My camera is a Canon EOS Rebel, I'm not sure of the settings (oops!), and all were edited in iPhoto.
