And Finally Easter:



This Easter was an incredibly special event. Nate, Campbell, and I had the honor of hosting our very first Seder Dinner and had a wonderful resurrection egg hunt. We were visited by none other than "Mr. Easter Bunny" himself, who left colorful eggs hidden all over the house, and had the most wonderful church service with family and friends. Although Easter is always a special event in the Smith home, this year was especially exciting considering how pumped Campbell was that Jesus Has Risen! He Has Risen Indeed!

Campbell after church on Easter Sunday. He is such a little poser... though I must say he comes by this naturally.











The resurrection egg hunt tells the story of Jesus. In each egg that Campbell hunted, there were bible verses along with tangible items such as the cross you see in this particular picture, to illustrate the story of Jesus in a kid friendly manner. He loved it! Each egg was numbered one through thirteen and after the hunt was complete Nate and I had the privilege of opening each egg along with Campbell and reading the story of Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection as we explained the items he found in each egg. This was so special!

The morning "Mr. Easter Bunny" showed up! He brought some pretty neat things, but by the time I grabbed my camera, Campbell had everything scattered out all over the house.

The Smith family had an incredible Easter! From our family to yours, we hope this time of celebration of our risen Savior was just as awesome for you!
