Easter at the Collins








Resurrection Day! Easter is probably the most exciting day in our family because it solidifies our faith. Without Christ's resurrection from the dead, our Christian faith means nothing. But Christ did rise, He has risen indeed! Christ has power over death and over our sin. Jesus Christ was indeed the sacrificial lamb that died for our sins. He is the ONLY way to God and that is what we celebrated this Easter Sunday.

We colored Easter eggs the old fashion way with vinegar, water, and dye. Everyone in the family had the opportunity to color the hard boiled eggs (and then enjoy deviled eggs on Sunday!)

We celebrated with a beautiful worship service at Grace Bible Church followed by a delicious brunch with an opportunity to fellowship with our fellow believers. Later in the day we had cousins over for another big dinner followed by an Easter Egg hunt in the back yard. It was only Amy, Sarah, and Jesse looking for the hidden eggs. Lucky Sarah found both the silver and gold egg this year!

Wow, Sylvia....Your kids are almost all grown up. It's amazing how much kids change and grow in just a few short years (ok, I guess it's been 5 yrs!). You have a great looking family! I hope you are all doing well! =)
