Easter Weekend

Easter weekend was such a fun weekend. It was full of family, friends, laughter, eggs, food and not forgetting why we are celebrating this holiday in the first place. We counted our blessings and are so grateful for everything God has given us.

On Saturday we headed to our annual easter egg hunt at the (you guessed it) zoo! We decided to grab some breakfast and head there before it got crazy busy... too late for that. We got one of the last parking spots and while everyone was rushing to the zoo we decided to eat our breakfast on this train. It was such a fun start to our day. After our crazy egg hunt at the zoo and some animal watching we met up with Meagan and Jordan and headed down town... it couldn't have been nicer out, weather in the 70's and good company! We walked around the waterfront and watched all the weird Portland people. After that, we headed back to our house for some fun in the sun and egg coloring. It was a perfect day.

Sunday we invited some friends over to hang out and have dinner with us. With good food, friends, lots of chocolate and some backyard basketball it was a lot of fun.

John 3:16-17
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through Him.
