Easter 2015

We did things a little different this year and had the Easter sunrise service in the church cemetery. While I missed seeing the sun rise out of the water, it was very touching to be gathered around the cross as the Pastor shared a message with us. {Matt: 28}

 

I decided to skip breakfast at church.....I really wanted to get some pictures of the sunrise, so I headed to the kayak dock.

A sunrise is always touching to me, but even more so on Easter morning.

 

 

 

How amazing! The moon was full in the west and the sun was rising in the east!

 

What a beautiful morning!!

 

 

After such a cold winter, these bright and cheery blooms are a welcome sight!

 

My flowers seem to be a bit late this year (although Easter was later last year).

I love Spring and I love all the Spring decorations! I put out a few of my favorite Easter things and wreaths on the front and back doors.

Jaxson joined in!

 

Left-over Easter dinner from yesterday and a 2 hr. nap.....yes please! :O)

 

Things are different now that the children are grown. No baskets to fill or outfits to buy. We sent Logan and Lindsey a card and some homemade eggs and bought a few eggs for us, but other than that, I didn't even buy Easter candy this year (umm....except for a few malted robin's eggs....and Reeses peanut butter eggs...that didn't make it to Easter).

 

While I miss doing these special things with the boys and I miss the days when our boys were little, I'm at a different stage in life now, I enjoy and take part in other things, like seeing the sunrise on Easter morning. 

 

Happy Easter 2015!
