Easter
Last night we colored eggs then the girls and I made "Resurrection cookies". It was fun, but the cookies weren't the best I've ever eaten. This morning we woke up at 5:00, loaded the kids in the car and went to the park to watch the sun rise. I loved it! As we stood around waiting for the sun to rise as we were sure it would.......it occurred to me that the "Sunrise Service" can be symbolic for us-God's children-always waiting for the Son to rise-as we are sure He will. Greg read and we all "choral responded"-VERY traditional of us-the part we were supposed to say included "the risen Lord", but I kept stumbling because I wanted to say "the living God".........Emma and I talked quite a bit about the Resurrection this week which was cool.
The kids just kind of hung out for the rest of the day-it was relaxing. They did an egg hunt withg Jake and Gabriel and Sara. Then they hid eggs for Avery and gave her some not so vague clues about where to find eggs. They thought that was GREAT! We went to my mom's for dinner with the family which I actually treasure. So many people don't live by their families, I need to appreciate the geography of my family more.

I love being a part of your family! Maybe that's me being a little presumptuous, to include myself in that catagory, but that's how you make me feel, thank you. I hope dinner with your immediate family was yummy and FUN!
