This is my 100th Favorite Foto Friday post! The theme that Hannah has chosen for this week is "Easter Memories". Last weekend was Easter, it was a beautiful weekend weather wise except for the "yellow clouds" (pine pollen) that were drifting around. Saturday we went to the church of one of my co-workers. They were having their annual egg hunt. This egg hunt was huge! They had over 30,000 eggs for the kids to "hunt"-- pick up is more like it! They also had door prize give aways for those families that had registered, and they had free lunches! Tabi had a great time. I wish that we'd been able to get more pictures of it, but the camera battery decided to "expire" just as the hunt began.

Later Saturday afternoon, we colored Easter eggs, Tabi seemed to get into it a little more than last year. She wanted to do it all, but Mommy insisted upon helping!
Sunday we went to church for the flowering of the cross,(The flowering of the cross has been traced back to the 6th century. It is an especially striking and beautiful way to symbolize the new life that emerges from the death on Good Friday. Traditionally before the Easter Sunday service, the cross is covered with real flowers and the top draped in white. The entire cross is covered with flowers and is placed prominently at the front of the church to symbolize the new life in our risen Lord to all the worshippers present on Easter Sunday morning. The contrast between the starkly bare cross that worshippers have seen for 40 days and the living flower cross of Easter Sunday dramatically and visually represents the new life that we are celebrating after witnessing the very instrument of death and endings transformed by Christ's rising) then had a bit of breakfast in the church fellowship hall, and then attended Easter services. Tabi was not very cooperative with the pictures while we were at church, but did finally take a few decent ones at home.

To those who have commented on "flowering of the cross". We hadn't heard of it before moving here to South Carolina. Here's an explaination I found online that states what it is about probably better than I could:
