Here she is carefully decorating the colored eggs with stickers. Jocelyn LOVES eating hard boiled eggs for snacks so these didn't last long!
All done and showing off her creations.
We decided to hunt for eggs in the living room on Saturday night so we wouldn't be rushed before church on Sunday morning.
It didn't take her long to realize that she could find either an M&M or a gummy worm in each egg.
Next, it was time to give her the Easter Basket. I got the stuffed bunny basket that says, "Some bunny loves you" and wags it's tail at a garage sale for $1 last summer. I was excited to finally use it. I knew that she was going to love the little "Jocelyn's Family and Friends Book" that I made for her at snapfish.com. She could have cared less about the rest of the goodies.

Sunday after church....
In the evening, we went to Nana and Papaw's for a nice dinner.
It was a great Easter. But Easter isn't about the chocolate, the bunnies, the colored eggs, the pretty dresses, the food, or an excuse to get together with family. Before I recieved Christ as my Savior that's what it was all about. Today, I can say that I serve a Risen Savior.
"You ask me how I know He lives...He lives within my heart!"
And to quote another of my favorite hymns..
"Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, all fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living just because He lives!"
