For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. ~John 3:16
From the time she can walk, we host an Easter egg hunt for granddaughter, Virginia.
What happy celebrations we share before the family moves away . . .
I truly wish that Danny and I could have spent Easter with our beautiful granddaughters, but we are thankful that they could do so with our son-in-law, John, his sister and her husband, along with their children, and his parents, Grandpa and Kiki. The photos my daughter, Sarah, share with us more than capture the fun and joy the cousins are having on this glorious holiday, creating lasting family bonds of love.
And isn't that what Easter is all about? God's love for His children?
Acting goofy!
The outdoor Easter egg hunt! Look who found the Golden Egg -
Wonderful family photos for you to treasure with love and pride.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you and your whole family, Martha.
Thank you, Victor! Yes, I will certainly treasure these photos.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Distance and our ex son-in-laws dislike for Christmas and Easter sort of changed our plans a lot. We had a busy morning and then a quiet afternoon (although I did go to the office for a couple of hours). The morning celebration was well worth it. So glad you had the chance to experience this with your three "young-uns" even though it was from a distance.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, Bill, I miss those little girls every single day, but I am glad they could have fun with their cousins and John's parents this Easter. We have such special memories of them spending Easter with us . . . Maybe, next year?

They'll remember those family get-togethers for the rest of their lives.
ReplyDeleteYes, they will, Glynn. Such a special day!
DeleteLove and blessings!
Unlike Tom, I never had the opportunity to spend 'fun' time with my cousins. He's 80 now and still recounts the great memories. I hope your treasures will do the same someday!
ReplyDeleteI have great memories of times spent with cousins, too, Myra. I think the girls will remember this Easter with special fondness.
DeleteLove and blessings!
They surely do seem to have the Easter spirit. Love and fellowship. Hugs and blessings
ReplyDeleteYes, they do, Nells. I'm so happy to see them so happy.
DeleteLove and blessings!
I had a wonderful Easter and it looks like your family enjoyed theirs. Maybe next year you and Danny can be part of the in-person fun!! xo
ReplyDeleteYes, Terri, it did look like you had a wonderful Easter, and I do hope we can see the grands next year so we can share in the joy personally.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Dearest Martha Jane,
ReplyDeleteBonding between first cousins is very important and they can become as close as siblings.
Easter of course is a lovely time for being with family together.
You were there in thought and you could view them in action; that is the benefit of nowadays' technology.
Hugs,
Mariette
Yes, cousins can certainly become as close as siblings, Mariette, that's for sure. My daughter, Sarah, and her cousin, Rebecca, have always been close. We took vacations together, and Rebecca was Sarah's maid of honor. I think of her more as a daughter than a niece.

DeleteLooks like all had a great time; and you and Mr. Danny did as you relived it with them through photos. And thank you, Ms. Diane and I had a great time with Easter services, and the fellowship continued through dinner with friends.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you enjoyed a splendid Easter day, J. D. I so wish we could have attended church in person for Easter, but we knew it would be crowded, so plan to finally return to church this coming Sunday. So happy for the kids!
DeleteLove and blessings!
Oh, such riches to see your family and beautiful and happy kids, a picture indeed of the Father's love.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a picture of the Father's love, Marja, when families have good times together. So happy the girls got to spend time with their other grandparents as well as with their aunt and uncle, and the cousins.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Beautiful family pictures, So much joy
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cheryl! Yes, I thought their joy would certainly shine through.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Olá Martha
ReplyDeleteLinda comemoração. Sim, a Páscoa é o amor de Deus por nós, um forte abraço.
Easter is the pinnacle of God's great love for us, Lucinalva.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Look at those carefree smiles. I hope you're able to see those precious girls soon, Martha!
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, Nancy, we're already counting the days until we can see them all again. Just so happy to know how happy they all were on Easter.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Such joy to see your gorgeous family, Martha.
ReplyDeleteLove, hugs and blessings!
Thank you so much, Veronica!
DeleteLove and blessings!
Absolutely precious! Thanks for sharing those amazing grands with us.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Beckie! I hope and pray that you are still doing well, my friend. Looking forward to seeing you blogging again!
DeleteLove and blessings!
Happy Easter to you too. What a great group of photos and wow, she is growing up quickly!
ReplyDeleteShe sure is, Jean. I can't wait to see Virginia in June; she's supposed to spend at least two weeks with us.
DeleteLove and blessings!
