We celebrated Resurrection Sunday with the Easter service at church, a family brunch at the Cheesecake Factory and a really fun Easter egg hunt after nap time. That is after a quick ichat session with the crew at Palisades Court. Way to go Mag for making that happen.
Overall, the best part of celebrating this year was the balance we found between the fun and spirit of Easter and the truth of what we are celebrating. It is such a joy to watch and participate in Rylie's understanding of Easter and it's ultimate and unmatched significance. My heart relates to the joy and suspense in her eyes when we get to the climax of the resurrection story. He is risen, He is risen indeed.
And so, without further delay, here it is: Easter in pictures at the Lees house...
Rylie is a beautiful silk dupioni dress and Reagan in a hand smocked white, pink and green dress. Both lovingly made by Grandma Shields.
Just waiting to be found...
How many eggs do you see?
Lees family Easter egg hunts all start with the same fair tradition; all of the kids line up at the door, youngest in the front, oldest in the back. Chelsea wasn't patient enough to make the shot but I managed to catch a quick one of these two ladies before they were on the move!
Rylie didn't waste any time as she quickly slid down the slide to get the next egg!
Time wasn't a much of a concern for Reagan. She tried to about 10 times to get this egg without getting her hands or knees in the dirt and mulch. She finally managed to scoot close enough and bend over to get the egg. I sure hope the treat inside was worth it!
And the hunt is finished.
I love these photos! I feel like I was there to see it! Great job creating -- and documenting -- the Easter egg hunt, mama!
