He has Risen!

I think a lot of times people lose sight of what Easter is really about.

Sure...candy, Easter bunnies, and cute dresses are cool....

And it's an excuse to celebrate.

I just feel like people don't realize that Easter is a Christian holiday meant to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

He has risen and we are saved!!!!!!!!

how awesome is that!!!!!????

This year, we got to spend Easter with our friends Sunny, Kim, their sons Devon and Kanoa, and Kim's family at her parents' gorgeous home in Santa Ana.

The day started off with an Easter Egg hunt for Dannika, Kanoa, and Lola in Kim's parent's front yard. 

They have this GORGEOUS front yard with a cute little Koi pond.

It was so much fun!

Dannika actually knew that she had to find these eggs to hold in her basket.

She was having an absolute blast!

After the little kids had their egg hunt, the older children had theirs in the backyard by the pool.

It really made me miss my family back home in Texas, but I am sooo blessed to have such great friends with awesome families!

Kim's parents made us feel so at home and welcomed our little family with open arms

We spent the rest of the afternoon in the jacuzzi just hanging out.

I couldn't have asked for a better family to spend Easter with!
