The Hutchings Family Blog: Happy Easter (a little late :))

Our motto around here is usually...better late than never :) So, in that fashion...here are some Easter pics! We had a great Easter here in MO. It was BEAUTIFUL. We didn't travel to see family or have family here, which we think is the first time ever. But, we had a sweet time just our little family. The Sunday before Easter (Palm Sunday) Faith's Sunday school class performed during worship service. They came in waving their palm branches. Faith thought it was her personal dancing prop...I can only imagine it brought a smile to God's face :)

Easter weekend was full of good stuff. We had a church Easter egg hunt on Saturday, colored eggs Saturday night, woke up Sunday morning and "found" Easter baskets and lots and lots of eggs. We went out to eat with some good friends. Kind of funny...we had planned on eating at a local family style restaurant...but the only restaurants open Easter Sunday were very "high end" (aka out of our budget :)) and our local pizza place-Shakespeares. We opted for pizza! It was low key and fun. We are thankful for good friends and a great church family which helped us celebrate Jesus's resurrection.

Here are some pics from the weekend (not necessarily in chronological order :))

Church Easter egg hunt. Such a big girl with her Elmo basket!

Faith is an old pro at the Easter egg hunt these days :)

Playing with her "resurrection" set. I found this at Hobby Lobby for a few dollars and LOVE it! She could color all the characters and it gave us something tangible to talk about and look at as we learned about Jesus's resurrection.
