Easter Happenings

Okay, so I am just a little late posting our Easter happenings, but I have some good reasons why. Every year LTC (Leadership Training for Christ) lands on Easter weekend making Easter an extra busy time of year. We traveled with our youth to Dallas, Friday through Saturday for LTC. They all did a wonderful job! We are so proud of them! They won lots of golds. It always brings joy to my heart to see our teens striving to be leaders. I was in charge of two scrapbook teams and they both got golds with all excellent marks on the judges sheets. My girls did great and we had a blast creating them!

We dyed eggs with the girls before our trip to LTC. They also enjoyed using the markers to draw on them. We did have a few egg casualties, but I am pretty sure that is to be expected when you have a two year old and four year old decorating. We stripped them down so they would not get dye on their clothes.




Here are some pictures from Avery's preschool Easter Egg Hunt.



On Easter it was freezing outside. I even had to cover my newly planted flowers outside so the freezing temperatures and possible snow would not harm them. I even offered up prayers on their behalf. They did survive, and the predicted snow never came.

The girls looked cute in their Easter dresses (which were sleeveless sun dresses) with sweaters and tights on. I am sorry to say, I didn't take any pictures. I will have to dress them up later and snap some. That is what happens when you are exhausted from a trip. You just don't think straight.

Later that afternoon, after all of us got a much needed nap we went up to church for the Easter Egg Hunt. Thankfully, they moved it indoors. The girls found lots of candy and treats that will last a good while!

Naomi, I so enjoyed reading your updates and viewing your great pictures. I love the one with the "wide mouth zebra" and of course all the ones showing the cute smiles of your girls. I really like the girls dancing on the picnic table too. Keep telling us the cute stories. Abby is such a trouper with her pacifier and shots. Avery has such a cute smile. We love you guys!
