Easter sunday

After three weeks of talking about Easter, the girls were ready (Isaac too - he's right in the thick of a fun talking stage and loves to expand his growing vocabulary.  This past week he started saying "egg" but he also frequently refers to the egg as "ball" which is undoubtedly one of his favorite words.)

So Easter morning the girls bound out of bed and head to the living room to check out their Easter baskets.  Isaac wasn't sure what all the fuss was about, but he loves to be in the middle of the action, so he was only a few steps behind. 



The jelly bean loot was a hit! Here we are shouting "Jesus is alive".  Lydia's basket has a cute little bunny on the front, just like Julianna's but she's got hers turned around so you can't really see it. 


After church we headed to a friend's home where the little ones napped and we all geared up for the afternoon's festivities.  Then, it was Easter egg hunt time! 



We gathered with about 8 other foreign families.  I'm not sure anyone counted, but there must have been at least 20 little white kiddos running around the courtyard of a large Asian apartment complex, hunting Easter eggs. 


At one point someone looked up and noticed that the apartment windows were full of bystanders enjoying the scene.  With gobs of cute little kids like our little man, it's no wonder we attracted a crowd!


Happy Easter from our family to yours!  He is Risen!

I remember our Easter mornings here in Raleigh - we loved the excitement over the Easter baskets (the contents changed over the years) and we loved celebrating the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ in the glory of a spring Sunday morning. Love your new family portrait - a good one! We love you all bunches!
