Happy Easter!




We had a wonderful Easter weekend, despite the weather not being the best. We went shopping on saturday which was fun. I've discovered that taking kids to Hallmark usually means free stuff. In this case, the Easter Bunnies that sing and dance. Jaylee loves them! She laughs every time, and complains when they stop singing.

I can easily say that saturday night was the highlight of the weekend. I was tucking Kale in, and we were talking about why we celebrate Easter. He said that he wanted to ask Jesus to live in his heart forever and ever. It was such a sweet moment to be able to hear him pray and pray with him.

On Easter morning we went to church of course. Kale very proudly told our childrens pastor and his sunday school teacher that Jesus was in his heart.
Alana did NOT like wearing her Easter dress. It was really funny. She pitched a fit over putting it on. At church, Grammy gave her a matching purse that even had lipstick in it. She loved that of course, and it cheered her up. She spent a good part of church putting her lipstick on. Trying to get a picture of all three kids smiling at the camera was next to impossible. Jaylee was really enjoying trying to hook Kale's mouth with her fingers. Oh, and Jaylee now has four teeth! Two on top, two on the bottom. They have been slow in coming and painful for her.

After church we went to Grammy's house and spent the day. The kids did an Easter egg hunt of course. Kale was so interested in opening his eggs and eating the candy right away, he didn't grab as many as Alana. (we made it even in the end). After naps, we did a big dinner and played until it was time to come home for bed.

This was the best family picture we managed after about 15 tries. The kids looked so great! We are so very blessed.
