"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7

Well Kim you asked about my Easter so i will tell you all about it in the usual Christa format. First of all the service was great, it was your typical Easter sermon, but i never grow tired of hearing how my Savior died on the cross and rose again. Everyone was decked out in our Sunday best, but not for long because "The Hunt" can turn into one ugly mess. We had a barbecue lunch, ribs provided by corey, some homemade bread, potato salad, you know that sort of food. And a made from scratch cheescake (prepared by Steve) for Dee Dee because her birthday just happened to be on Easter this year. Then came the hiding of the eggs. This was the first year that mom requested the help of me and Suzie. And it will probably be the last because that woman filled about a million eggs full of candy and prizes. Of course there is a slight exaggeration there but you know what i mean. It took about 30 minutes to hide them and only about 5 for the kids to find them all. But it was precious watching those kids look for eggs. But nothing could compare to the battle that lie ahead with the adult egg hunt. My mom and Aunt were outside hiding the eggs and you could see the game faces on everyone. There was a determination in all of their eyes, it was screaming i'm going to get that "golden egg!" (Just a side note, we didn't really have a golden egg, but we did have a plastic egg that had the 20 dollar grand prize in it.) Anyway, the on your mark, get set, go was sounded and We all took off. There were two type of hunters that day, there were the sly ones that got as many eggs as they could, they kind of took off by themselves (the women). And then there were the ones that decided it would be best to prevent other hunters from finding eggs, now this did include bodily harm. ( the men) When the hunt was over the sly hunters found themselves on top, they had more candy and less cuts. It was a lot of fun i must admit, of course it always is. I'm going to try and get some pictures posted. Until my next post remember this vital piece of information.... Violence is never the answer.

This was truly typical CHISTA format (which I appreciate so much!) I would loved to have been at this event to see the fun. You're family never ceases to amaze me (in a good way)! I look forward to the pictures. Thanks for posting just for me!
