Easter 2011

Howdy folks!

Happy Easter to you all!

What a wonderful Easter weekend - full of remembrance of
what my Savior did so long ago for me! For us!! Our church
put on an amazing Good Friday service, that our sweet little
girl decided she wanted to be wiggly THE WHOLE TIME in
so we spent most of the service in the way back, while
Hubs held up the fort w/the boys all the way in the front
of the church... (where I found out later - that they too
had a bad case of the wiggles... hmmm... must be the Kinney
way!)

Anyways, we had an amazing - yet very somber Good Friday
service, then on to the Eggstravaganza that took place Sat
morning. It was a huge turnout of around 1000 people!
There was the egg hunt (of course!), 10 million bouncy-
houses, pony rides, train rides, and of course the DUNK TANK!!!

Hubs got volunteered for the dunk tank by our pastor -
and received the pleasure of being one of the early "dunkers"-
which meant the water was a wee bit chilly :) As you'll see
in the pic below - Big Boy had no problem takin' his pops DOWN!!
It was so fun! He was seriously dunked, no kidding, 20 times in
his 15 minute shift! BBRRRRR!!!!

We then did the typical hang out - paint Easter eggs - eat candy day
to gear up for Easter Sunday!

Easter Sunday was again an amazing service - and celebration of our
Risen Lord! And such a huge reminder for me that my chains are
gone! I've been set free by the love of my Jesus dying on the cross
for me!!! I am so humbled by that truth - and so undeserving...

Needless to say - we had an awesome Easter weekend! The weather
even cooperated for us, and it was so beautiful! Even for Idaho!!
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this crazy sunshine means spring
is finally here :)

P.S... Check out the link below of Carrie Underwood & Vince Gill singing
one of my favorite hymns. You will not be able to watch w/o crying!!!

God Bless!
