Three generations have grown up attending the Easter doings. After attending church services, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins by the gazillions, and sometimes friends have gathered to share a meal and enjoy the fun.

And the oldest Aunty who is nearly 95 years old, pictured with her namesake................
Children lined up to "hit the Pinata"..............
And of course, diving for the booty.................
Traditions............ we all have them. Maybe yours has come about in a different way. But the greatest tradition we had yesterday was celebrating the Risen Savior. If it was not for the sacrifice HE made, we would be dead to sin, eternally. HE paid the price for the debt we owed.We are all sinners, since we have all done wrong things. But God made a way for us to be forgiven so we can have eternal life in heaven. All we have to do is recognize our sinfulness and accept the fact that Jesus paid the penalty for our sin when he died on the cross.
"For God so loved the world, that He gave his only Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16
Have a great week!

Amen amen! Oh I love the pictures of your picnic...what a blessing to have the family gathered like that! Aunty does NOT look 95, btw.

Hello, sweet friend,
I love family picnics!! When I was growing up, my family always had them with all the relatives. I have felt sad a little since it seems like families don't get together for fellowship as much anymore. I am glad your family is carrying on that tradition. My favorite picture is that sweet aunt with her namesake, just love it. I am glad you had a blessed and happy Easter! Vicki
Sweet post! It's wonderful you have such good family traditions!
What a fun family tradition! Praise God, He is Risen!
We have so much to celebrate at Easter. That is wonderful blessing that your family has a 60 year old tradition of an Easter picnic. I wish our family could pull off something like that but we live so far from one another!
