Team Dobbertin: He's Alive!

Gavin has been saying, "He's Alive!" all weekend in reference too, of course, the fact that Christ is risen! In church this morning, Gavin's class made some megaphones so that they can proclaim this even louder! Our service was great this morning. Everyone was so excited about Easter and it's true meaning. I loved that. It gets so commercialized these days, it was nice to be in God's house praising and thanking Him for all He has done for us. At my parents church they call today Resurrection Sunday, instead of Easter Sunday.

Gavin had a great Easter and week leading up to it. In addition to learning all about the Easter story (which I am pretty confident he can now repeat back to you), he also received MANY Easter treats. It all started on Monday or Tuesday when we got a package from Grandma Sue. Then on Thursday we got a package from Grandma Addy with LOTS of candy and the Little Einsteins Rocket Ship. Then this morning we had our Egg hunt at home. Gavin lives for this. It is more exciting to him than even Christmas. We watch his egg hunt from last year on the computer all the time and he just couldn't wait for it this year. When he woke up this morning and I went into his room (because he STILL will not get out of bed unless I come in his room and tell him he can get up!) he had a HUGE grin on his face. He was ready! So we got him up and he found his basket and opened up some Easter presents and then he did his egg hunt. Then it was off to church, which I already mentioned. After church we went over to Ryan's aunt's house. Gavin calls her Nonnie. At Nonnie's house Gavin got ANOTHER Easter basket and got to do another egg hunt with his cousins. He is still in all his glory right now. I put all of his candy into a large zip lock bag and it is FULL. It is going to take up forever to get through all of this candy. And I am pretty sure that I will be the one eating most of it, unfortunately.

So, that is our Easter in a nut shell. Now, for the part you really want to see . . .
