I hope you all have a very Happy Easter.  I’m enjoying time with my family this weekend so I won’t be around for a couple of days.  I’m sure I’ll be enjoying visiting you and looking at all of your fun Easter pictures over the next few days.  Happy Easter!!

I saw this adorable Easter Egg wreath that Jennifer made with her kids a little while ago.  And I thought it was soooo cute.  But I thought Hailey might be a little young to try it.  Then I saw Andrea do it on her blog too- and her son is only a little older than Hailey, so I decided to go ahead and try it.

Of course I had to cut the “eggs” out.  But, Hailey did the coloring and even the gluing herself.  She LOVED it and cried when we were all done.  So, here are some pictures of the fun. 

Hailey was so proud when she saw her Easter Egg wreath hanging up.

Then we I made some bunny ears for Hailey.

But, it was more fun to try to get Dottie to wear the ears than for Hailey to leave them on.

With Easter approaching this weekend I am thinking about the sacrifice that was made for me.  It is hard for me to comprehend that God gave his only Son to die for me.

When I look at Brooke and Hailey and think about how much I love them it can be pretty overwhelming.  I would do absolutely anything for them.  Anything.  And I know all the other parents out there feel the same way about their children.  If it came down to it, I would give my life for Brooke or Hailey.  But to think about me choosing to give one of their lives to save someone else- no way.  That is not going to happen.

But that is what God did for me.  He gave his only Son to die.  For me.  It is hard for me to understand that God loved me so much that he was willing to let his Son die for me. Wow!

And that?  Is why I am thankful this week.  Happy Easter!

I know this picture is a bit washed out from the flash going off too closely.  But you can see how blue Hailey’s eyes are so I picked it to share this week. My little blue eyed beauty.
