Easter Weekend

We had a lovely Easter morning. We had a wonderful service at church. Sometimes I feel like I hear very little while trying to keep both girls relatively quiet and happy, but I do value getting to worship together as a family. I do know that there are some little ears in our house who hear almost every word though. Throughout the week I hear her singing parts of the songs from that week, talking about the "Jesus" stories, and asking us to pray the Lord's prayer "like at church". That makes the hour of passing out gummi bears and reminders to whisper worth every minute.



After church we came back home to play outside in the gorgeous weather, eat lunch, and hunt some eggs! Charlotte took her longest nap to date and missed all of the festivities.


We had decided not to go to any group egg hunts this year because Annabelle tends to freeze up around older kids. After watching her hunt eggs in our yard, we decided that she would have probably gotten exactly one egg at one with lots of kids. She would find an egg, tell us all that she found it, open it up, marvel at what was inside, try for a little while to close it back, ask for help closing it, and then add it to her basket. We had the longest one child egg hunt ever! She sure did enjoy herself...and a few pieces of chocolate!
