Easter

On Easter morning, Amanda, Nathan, Joshua, and I got up very early and hiked over to Sweetcake Mountain Preserve for our own sunrise service. We enjoyed the cool morning peace, sang a few songs, and took turns reading the Easter story aloud. It was very pleasant and beautiful.

This isn't really what it looked like. We were having trouble capturing the real colors, so we turned on the sunset setting on my camera, which tends to put in colors that aren't there. Looks pretty anyway, doesn't it?

Later in the morning, we attended the regular Easter service at church. That afternoon, we hung out outside and hunted for Easter baskets. In the evening, Grandpa and Grandma came up for a delicious Easter dinner.

Hannah looked so cute running around outside in her gorgeous dress with her pretty hair, so I went a little shutter-happy taking pictures of her. The ones below are just a sample of some of my favorites.
