Easter Fun

We had a wonderful Easter this year, even though the weather was a bit rainy it was nice enough to go to a church egg hunt but the rest of the festivities had to take place inside. The kids has lots of fun. It is a wonderful time of year, when we truly remember what Christ has done for us and the miracle of Him conquering death and proving He is the son of God. Kadie has such an extensive knowledge of the crucifixion, and the resurrection that she taught her Sunday school class for the teacher. It is so precious to hear her prayers and thankfulness for every little detail, for the angel that moved the rock in front of the tomb, for the rich man who gave Jesus his tomb, for the disciples who finally believed He rose from the dead. It is sweet.

Kadie with her full basket, so happy.

Issie took a long time to figure out what was going on, she refused to pick up an egg. Finally I just put one in her basket, then she thought it was neat. By then, all the eggs were gone. A few little girls felt sorry for her and gave her some of their eggs, so she ended up with 4 which was perfect for her.

All the kiddo's, looking cute. Jack is at the age where he still thinks this will be fun but realizes it is a little lame. He says things like, "this is not a hunt, you just bend over and pick them up", "where's the challenge?" and "stickers?... who wants a sticker". He says it is still fun and I remind him that he is nearly 10 and not to ruin the fun for his sisters. He is great at helping them and making sure they get their fair share of the eggs.Issie, investigating her eggs in the middle of the sidewalk. She really needed to see what was in there right then.

Isabella on Easter morning. Not sure why she is covering her ears but she was looking at the camera and not moving so it is a good picture. Lots of drool on her chin as is the norm these days.

Jack in the middle of his string hunt for his Easter basket. I tried to make it a challenge but next year I think we are going to need to wrap the yarn around some trees outside and down in the back yard to really make it hard. He got a penny whistle and some new Toby Mac and Big Daddy Weave cd's so he was happy in the end.

Kadie on her new pink scooter. She has been riding an old beat up spiderman scooter for some time now and saw pink girl scooter at a friends house and was totally in awe over the fact that they make them just for girls. She also got the next set of the Magic Treehouse Audio books that she just loves.

It was a weekend. We completed it all with a yummy Easter meal with some of our dear friends from our Bible Study (our family here). What a wonderful time to celebrate our faith and our family. We miss you all that are far away and hope you had a great Easter as well.
