Easter Sunday!

Happy Easter Everyone! It was a wonderful day celebrating with my family in Raleigh. The festivities actually started the night before as mom & I decorated the cross cake (a Baker tradition). My mom always wanted us to associate Easter with the cross, and it is a fun memory to have!

The church held an Easter Egg hunt for all the kiddos, which was hilarious to watch. Natalie and Nathan had so much fun picking up all the eggs.

And had a blast throwing them all back in the tree haha

We all went to church together, which meant a lot to mom & dad to have all their kids there with them on Easter Sunday.... brings back memories of when we all had matching outfits haha

After church we went over to Tara & Jamies for a delicious lunch before we headed back home to GA! What a great weekend we had spent with family and friends!

After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you."

So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them. "Greetings," he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me." Matthew 28:1-10
