Easter Eggs...

It was a busy Easter week and with all the Sacred Encounter activities, it was late Saturday night before we could find some family time to paint eggs. I thought Micah would be the only one who would want to decorate..but Austin and Destiny were all in. So LeeElla got them all going, making a grand mess and making some pretty eggs. Sunday after the morning Easter breakfast at the church and the English service and the afternoon refugee service
and with the evening service cancelled...we went over to Daniel and Mellisa's house and had a easter egg hunt in their big house. It was raining outside, so we thought would do one inside with their two newly adopted girls from Ethiopia. It was classic fun, lots of laughs, candy and memories.

Years from now your family and these friends will look back at this post with fond and happy memories...

We colored eggs on Sunday. (Yes, I'm the queen of procrastination.) But we did one thing differently this year than we did in all of the previous years... We colored raw eggs instead of cooked ones. This was the brilliant idea of a neighbor down the street who is one of Stephen's friends. I can't believe I didn't think of it before! We colored every egg in the house (5 dozen of them) and nearly everyone in the house was in on it. And this way we don't have to gorge ourselved on hard-boiled eggs for the next month. Cool, huh? :)
