Easter 2018

Ok -- we're now 2 weeks out, but this year's Easter celebration was fantastic! Gary and I went to a community sunrise church service where one of the pastors at our church gave the sermon. We were surprised with how cold it was at the service and will dress warmer next year. However, the weather warmed, so the day was gorgeous, and we celebrated at my parents' house.

You can tell in the picture that the sun was in Sam Nolan's eyes. He was such a trooper! Gary and I started a couple of traditions for Easter this year. (Hey, people have Christmas traditions.) One tradition is that we watch an Easter movie, such as "Risen", which we watched this year. The other tradition is, as a couple, that we read through the gospels each night during lent. The new traditions made the whole season so special.
