Doughnuts, Eggs and All Things Good!

On a beautiful Saturday morning, the day before Easter Sunday, we all met in the gym at Briarlake for the annual community Easter Egg Hunt. Doughnuts, coffee and juice were served to everyone who arrived before the hunt began. If you look carefully in the front of the crowd, you'll see three of our grandchildren. What a wonderful day it was! I have never seen so many precious children under one roof! This little smiling face from the community was what it was all about!
After tummies were filled, the Easter story was presented through a brief animated video. For some, this was probably the first time they had ever heard the story of Jesus' sacrificial love for us all!--and the wonderful resurrection of God's Son!

After the video and a short message from the Pastor, the kids and their parents were ushered to the ballfield or yard where the kids would begin the hunt. Below, Evan and Pressley's age group are anxiously waiting to hear, "Ready, Set.........

GO!!!!!!


Pressley had a ball! ( with the help of Corin ).



Abby was determined to find that prize egg!


The hunt was for kids from Babies through 5th grade. This little cutie below is the granddaughter of Rodney and Susie Webb. Too Cute!!!

And, of course, here are three of ours! I don't know where Will was when this was taken, but knowing how competitive he is, I'm thinking he was in search of that one last egg!



What fun that was! They can't wait for next year!
