Easter

Christ the Lord is Risen Today! Hallelujah!! We were excited to celebrate Easter this past Sunday. What an awesome season to celebrate what Christ did for us on the cross and that the tomb is empty. We had fun teaching the kids about Easter this year. It was exciting to hear them talking about Jesus being alive. The Resurrection eggs were a great tool to teach them about the passion week.
We had a quiet Easter this year. Both of our parents were out of town so it was just us. We went to church in the morning. Afterwards, we had our neighbor Nancy over for a ham dinner. Later in the afternoon, we were able to go for a walk in one of the forest preserves. It turned out to be a really nice day.
We tried to get a family picture but that didn't work. Elise ended up sleeping for 3 hours mid-morning to early afternoon. Levi went down for a nap before she woke up. Since Elise is crawling, we didn't want to keep her in her Easter dress all afternoon. We did manage to get a picture of the 3 kids in their "non-Easter" attire!
