Easter

We had a wonderful Easter this year! I was so excited about this Easter because it was the first one where Addalie could really participate and we could explain to her what Easter is about. Of course she cannot fully understand (can any of us?) what Christ did, she has said several times when she sees a cross, "Jesus died on the cross!" So she has little seeds of understanding. I pray that one day she fully understands and celebrates Easter for all it is and because of what Christ has done for her personally.

We had the Shocks, Aimee, and Leah over for Easter dinner and an egg hunt on Easter Sunday. It was so fun to host at our house! We loved having everyone here and loved watching the kids hunt eggs!

I got these pictures in the opposite order I intended!

Asher loving on Aimee! She's become a part of the fam and we love having her around!

Everyone trying to fit in my little kitchen! We made it work!

Addalie and Emry were too excited to eat.

All the kids looking through their goodies.

Addalie got so excited after just finding a couple of eggs and we couldn't get her to hunt for any more!

So many of these pictures are of Addalie and Emry. I just can't help it, they are too cute!

Walking to their class together at church- they started holding hands all on their own!

All dressed up for church!

So handsome!

Showing off her pretty dress that Gran-D bought her!

See it's all backwards! Here Addalie is decorating boiled eggs. She had fun putting stickers on the eggs and getting her fingers as colorful as possible!

We hope all of you had a blessed Easter! We are so thanful for our Lord who gave it all for us to live in relationship with Him!
