HaPPy EAsTeR!!

Happy Easter! It's so great to hear Big M saying " Jesus is alive!! He is risen!!" She's been telling us about how Jesus rose 3 days after he died and has been sharing the excitement of Easter with us. Of course, she's patiently waited on the Easter bunny too....but we think she is starting to understand the real reason we celebrate Easter. :)

It was fun getting the girls dressed up in their new dresses. Little M seemed so proud of her dress--full skirt and all. We had a great day, which started off with a good Easter service at the church we just joined. Then we headed home to find that the Easter Bunny had delivered some goodies in the girls' baskets and hid their dyed eggs. They just couldn't figure out how he had done it!

We headed to Charley's Aunt Mary's and Uncle Ken's for a great Easter meal, which included another egg hunt and lots of fun visiting with family. It was a great day and so fun for us and the girls. Little M took a liking to Uncle Jerry, who helped her and Big M meet Baby the horse at Mary and Ken's. Too bad we didn't get some photos of all of them together! Big M loved the Monkey Bars that Uncle Ken had made when Charley and his cousins were younger. We left for home with two tired girls and even more candy....something I need to keep myself out of! Thanks for a great Easter day!
