What a fun day of celebrating with friends.  We had lunch at our house, the kids found eggs and we sat outside enjoying the beautiful day all afternoon.

Our friends Charissa, Suzanne, Sarah, Lauren and Kevin and Ethan and Emily

Resurrection Biscuits

Our sweet Preschool Park from church sent everyone home from the Good Friday service with ingredients and directions how to make Resurrection Biscuits.  You dip a marshmallow in butter and cinnamon and sugar and then wrap a flattened biscuit around the marshmallow.  Then you can dip the biscuit in more cinnamon and sugar.  When you bake the biscuit the marshmallow isn’t there.  The marshmallow symbolizes Jesus Christ who wasn’t in the tomb on Resurrection Day!  He arose and He is alive!

Legos

One of Seth’s many creations.  I must admit I am very impressed and proud of all that he makes. 

We Got Peeped!

One Sunday morning we looked out the windows and realized someone had stuck forks all over our yard and had put Peeps on them.  It was a very pretty prank!

We hunted eggs inside this year because it was a very rainy morning. 

Learning About Asia

Our sweet friend, MaLi and little Phoebe spent the morning with us teaching us about where she grew up.  She was a great teacher and it was a lot of fun to learn from a native.

Visiting the Nursing Home

Brooke, Seth, Luke and I made cards and treat bags and went to the nursing home to wish them a Happy Spring on the first day of Spring!  They had never been to a nursing home so I tried to prepare them that it might smell bad and I told them they would be like sunshine to the people there.  Luke handed his card to one man and the man looked at it and handed it back to him.  Luke wasn’t so sure why he gave it back to him but I explained to him that the man wasn’t sure Luke wanted him to keep it.  It was definitely time well spent…thinking about someone else and not just ourselves
