Happy Easter!

Wow, what an amazing day to celebrate our resurrected Savior! We stayed in Knoxville this year for Easter instead of going to Kentucky. I was sad at first at the thought of not being with our families, but God has blessed us with such an amazing church and friends, that we were glad we stayed. CHBC is in my opinion the best church in Knoxville and I am go grateful to be apart of such a dynamic, Christ centered church. We experienced our resurrected Savior today and witnessed tear-jecting testimonies from so many people in our church. I was just in awe as we left church this morning and so thankful that Jesus arose after dying on the cross for my sins!

We left church and headed to our dear friends, Randy and Rhonda's for an amazing Easter lunch. We are so blessed to have such gracious friends in Knoxville. Thanks so much for having us over today! Anna and Faith had an egg hunt after lunch. We came home and Anna took a 3 hour nap while Joe and I washed our cars. Then it was naptime for Mommy!

Laying their cardboard testimonies at the cross. This was so powerful!

We visited Jack and Jake in their class after church.

Anna took a cat-nap on the way to the Thompsons. This helped hold her over until we got home at 3:00 for her long nap.

So happy after her long nap!
