Easter 2014

For me Easter brings up memories of new bright colored Easter dresses that undoubtedly matched my sisters and white shiny shoes....or possibly not so shiny depending on if they were handy-me-downs;) I remember how we would wait our turn for my mother to curl our hair and then I would lavishly apply chapstick as if it was Mary Kay lipstick. Only now do I wonder how my mother ever got herself ready for church when she had 6 girls.....yes you moms are amazing! Then it was off to church we went and I loved and still love singing He Arose. Oh what a special day to stop and really soak in the fact that Christ died for us, conquered the grave and lives! I know that my Redeemer lives.....it is undeniable...from the way his handy work shows up in the everyday to the way that lives are transformed by His saving grace. Yes He Lives.
Easter this year was spent at church and then with Derek's family for lunch and then with the Roth side of my family for the evening. We were at Goodfield fellowship hall when we realized there was someone outside "slack lining"...which is basically a tight rope, but thicker. Well we couldn't believe our good luck....here we were having great food and now we would have a "show" too! The owner of the tight rope graciously let us give it a try. Needless to say it is just as hard as it appears even when you're only 3 feet off the ground. It was fun though:)

My cousin Kayla giving it a try!

Yum lots of food!

 And that's how we spent Easter 2014:)
