Easter morning

We had an egg hunt for the kids at home on Easter morning.  Emily was all about it.  Lincoln kept getting distracted by the other stuff in the basket.  There is a video in the April video player.










Here are the kids enjoying their M&M's and jellybeans.

Emily was very excited to pose for a picture in her Easter dress.  Lincoln was not in a cooperative mood at all.  Side note: Lincoln is wearing the same pair of khaki pants as he did for last Easter's picture.  Crazy.


I think Emily is starting to grasp the true meaning of Easter thanks to preschool, Sunday school and reading from The Jesus Storybook Bible.  She figured out that crosses are about Jesus and not just the letter "t".  We argued back and forth for days about whether Jesus died on a Friday or a Saturday.  Now her quick explanation of Easter is: "Friday was a bad day.  Saturday was a day off.  Sunday was a happy day."  Happy Easter!

So sweet. I was a ding dong and did not get Easter pictures. I love Lincoln's shiny face and cheeks! Mieke had the same questions about Friday, Saturday, Easter Sunday. The way Emily puts it makes sense. Never really thought about the "Sabbath" and a day odd. I totally agree with her! Thank you Emily for a little injection of theology to my morning.
