This year is a year of firsts for our son, and it started out with his 1st Easter. It was so special to celebrate our risen LORD with Josiah. We went to our church, Harvest Bible Chapel, on Saturday night with my family for the Easter service. And wow was it good! We sang some of my favorite songs of praise to our King and of course the Harvest tradition of cheering and clapping and holding up signs (ex. "Jesus is Alive") after Pastor James says "Christ is Risen!" BUT this year they added a special touch... they had confetti shot out from these "blowers" into the crowd! It was so cool! What a celebration!

On Easter Sunday we woke up and had a relaxing morning at home before we headed out to Hampshire. We then got to my parents in the afternoon and spent the day with my family, Mom and Dad Haskell and the Carril's, (aka Sean's cute girlfriend and her family!). Josiah had 3 Easter baskets and 2 gifts to open, wow is he spoiled! We had an amazing ham dinner with delicious salads and bread and apple pie for dessert. It was a memorable Resurrection Sunday!

Thankful for the cross and for the empty grave!
