Easter Happenings

Easter is such a wonderful time of year as we get to celebrate Christ's death and resurrection and all that it means to our family! Sky was invited to a Resurrection tea party by one of the women at our church. She had a wonderful time having treats with friends and discussing the resurrection story. The woman gave them each an Easter hat which Lila took to as soon as she saw it.


I was painting Sky's nails for Easter and Lila wanted to get in on that too so she had her first manicure.





We went to the Good Friday service at our church where the speaker was an African who had escaped the genocide in Rwanda. It was a very powerful testimony. On Easter Sunday, Sky was in a kid's choir that sung for both services. Ken greeted, I had nursery duty, and there was a potluck in between. Then we hosted another BIOLA professor and his family at our house for Easter dinner. So, it was definitely a very full and very wonderful day.

Such wonderful times celebrating Christ's Resurrection!
The girls look adorable in their hats! Love Sky's Easter dress, too. I think Grandma B. would have gotten some tears of joy to hear that glorious song by the choir!
Well, Lori, guess you will be applying polish on 20 fingernails from now on, instead of 10. That Tov is "getting bigger!"
Thanks for posting these great pics and stories! Glad you had a really nice Easter. (Sure was a busy one!!)

So nice! Everything...from the Ressurection party (great idea to call it that and keep that the focus) to painting nails and great testimony and Sky singing in the choir! (I know, a terrible run-on sentence!) I love Easter! By far the best holiday in my opinion. :o)Glad you had a beautiful one!!!!
