Today we celebrated our Lord Jesus Christ and His resurrection from the grave! We've been looking forward to this weekend and sharing this Easter holiday with Katelyn & Natalie. We started off the weekend getting eggs dyed and decorated for the girls. Katelyn loves being in the kitchen with and helping whenever we are baking or making cookies. This Saturday afternoon was no different. We thought it was time to show her how to color Easter eggs. So she put on an apron, climbed the chair and watched as took each egg and dipped them into different cups of colored dye. She did a pretty good job despite dropping one egg in the cup and cracking it. Not bad for a three year old. Eventually Sunday morning came and the house was bustling with activity as we prepared for Sunday morning church service and had our traditional midwestern Easter breakfast of toast with egg gravy. Mmmm! The girls wore their beautiful matching Easter dresses for service today. They looked so adorable, I had to get a picture of the two of them together outside. Somehow we managed to get the both to look at the camera at the same time for a perfect shot. Afterwards we headed straight off to church. Service was really good as we remembered what Jesus did for us on the cross. It was awesome seeing many people come to the alter to be born-again. After service we headed home and got ready for our Easter lunch. We put the spiral ham, cheesy potatoes and other sides all in the oven to start cooking. While we waited, we took a few minutes to go and hide some Easter eggs for the girls to find. Once we hid them all we gave them their baskets and let them start searching. It was funny watching Natalie as she doesn't quite understand the concept of hunting for eggs yet. Katelyn on the other hand was busy filling up her bag. We hid several eggs in plain view to make things easy and then put a few in some not-so-visible places. Well we found out real quick Katelyn didn't like that. She would just stand there with her hands up saying, "I cant' find them, they're all gone." So we gave her BIG hints until she got every last one. We'll have to make it easier on her next year I suppose. For the most part this weekend was a great time together as a family. Nothing like celebrating Jesus' resurrection, eating Peeps, Cadbury eggs and chocolate Easter bunnies. Oh yeah and egg gravy too! Mmmm.
