On Easter Sunday we went to church with Bill’s family at the church we grew up at. I think it’s fun to see everyone dressed up and usually matching or coordinated! Will, of course, could not keep his new outfit spiffy – he had a major blowout not 15 minutes into the service and I got paged. I was afraid that he might be getting sick and did not want him to infect the other kiddos so we roamed the halls and played outside. While exploring outside we found a couple of beautiful trees in bloom and I thought it was the perfect spot for some family pictures (much to chagrin of the rest of the Dixon family, I’m sure.) Enjoy!

On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb. They went in but did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men stood by them in dazzling clothes. So the women were terrified and bowed down to the ground.

“Why are you looking for the living among the dead?” asked the men. “He is not here, but he has been resurrected! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, saying ‘The Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men, be crucified, and rise on the third day.’?” And they remembered His words.

Luke 24: 1-8 (HCSB)

Will was excited to get 3 Easter baskets full of goodies! (Notice PepperAnn checking out the loot)

Even though it was cold – Will got bundled up and went on his first boat ride.

Ready, Set , HUNT!

What treasure did Will find?

Hunting eggs with Micah.

Ready to go to church Easter morning.

Will was fascinated with the Fireman, Unlce Bob.

“Hey, I’m getting pretty good at hunting Easter eggs.”

Having a great time at Mimi’s.
