Easter weekend

We are packing furiously this week but had a great Easter weekend with friends. "Resurrection holiday" as it's translated here is almost completely unheard of in our city. What a natural time to talk about the Hope that we have! We were blessed to have some friends come visit for the weekend. My girls were in heaven having so many friends to play with! Miss H. is so good with Trinity! She is often looking for ways to serve and is a great helper. And here's the crew right before the hunt. Please note the classy use of plastic bags. I had neither the time nor the foresight to scrounge up Easter baskets this year. Fortunately the kids didn't care at all! Found one!! Sunday morning I started taking pictures and these two cuties felt the need to hold up their favorite toys for the photo. Trinity watched and followed suit. Had to post this one cause I love it... Sunday morning Rob did a great job of leading us in worship and involving the kids, too. Here's a re-enactment of the resurrection! Kevin is the stone and the boys are watching guard over the tomb. The stone was rolled away!! Truly, He has risen! Hope your Easter weekend was fantastic!
