HAPPY EASTER!

I love Easter and celebrating the resurrection of Christ.  Reading to the kids from their Bible the story of Jesus' death and resurrection always puts a lump in my throat.  I know they don't quite understand the power of His death and resurrection but I pray one day they truly grasp what it all means.  We enjoyed our Easter weekend with lots of family time.  It was nice weather, relaxing, and just fun to be together.

 Ms. Betty, our neighbor put these fun glasses in the girls' Easter bags.

 This is one of my favorite Easter traditions where we count down until Jesus' resurrection.  Next year, Kinsley will get to participate.

 Pinterest activity...it didn't taste so good or look like the one on Pinterest but it was fun making it.

 Dying Eggs (Kinsley was napping for this one)

 Weston was eating marshmallows as fast as he could while decorating his egg.  Macie was a lot more serious.

 Pin the Tail on the Bunny

 WHY NOT?  It was warm out on Saturday so after finishing our Easter activities, the kids played in the water.  First it was only the guns...and then came the swimsuits.

 It is never easy to get a picture of all three but I keep on trying.  This of course is the way it should be...Macie posing, Weston with a bucket on his head, and Kinsley is just busy.

 Scavenger Hunt to find Easter Basket

I had to make it trickier this year because Macie remember exactly where the baskets were from the last two years.

 Sharing

 Kinsley only put a few eggs in her basket because she was more concerned with trying to eat what she had found.  Boy did she learn quickly.

 Kinsley loves her sweet friend, Elsa.  

Aren't these the cutest?  These were in the girls' baskets.

Here is a picture of Weston singing at church Sunday.  It is the best video;however, the file is too big and the blog won't allow it.  Weston sang his little heart out!  He may not have been singing the right words but it was music to my ears.  This was the first time he has ever performed so I was unsure if he would stay on stage, sing, or just stand there.  Well, HE SANG!
