Easter

We enjoyed beautiful weather today for Easter Sunday.  We gave the girls flower seeds potted in ceramic Easter eggs which they loved.  We had lots of beautiful messages of Christ's resurrection at church.  Then we had the Fosters over for Easter dinner and did an Easter egg hunt.  The girls loved their ring pops which turned their mouths dark blue.  Fun and cute.  Here they are in our front yard with our gorgeous spring time flowers!  

The girls got 'Chinese' dresses from their Grandpa Hanks who went on a business trip to Singapore.   They loved learning about another culture and practicing bowing.  Emily totally got into it and spoke Chinese, got out the chopsticks and wore a golden necklace as a crown all morning.  

For Ashley's birthday they got some bathtub crayons from Grammy.  There are smiles drawn on their backs.   They giggled during the whole bath.  

On good Friday I got to sing in an Easter choir.  The music was written from the perspective of Christ's disciples.  There were songs from the point of view Peter, three people who got healed, Mary & Martha watching Lazarus, the disciples before and after his death.  The experience was awesome- the music so uplifting and I loved singing in a choir again.  I love too that the music is in my head so I keep singing messages about Christ.
