Easter!

The kids had good Friday off and K had a visit, so I took the Reggie and Ainsley to church and they came in the sanctuary with me.  I got a bunch of questions from Ainsley and Reggie thought it was boring.  I think they were both glad that they usually go to Sunday school.  It definitely got us all in the right place for Easter :o).  Later that day, I decided to take them to the gym to go swimming.  They have a couple outdoor pools and we had such a nice time.  Reggie got his dive, but we still have a bit of work to do on his flip turn.
Easter Sunday was a fun day spent with friends.  The kids each had an easter basket, but we made sure they knew it was from us and that we were giving them gifts in celebration of the gift God gave to us.  In talking through a lot of it, it seemed a little hard for kids to understand (the whole sin thing and God having to die so that we could be forgiven), but at the same time they accept it.  We started at the Penner's for a late brunch and then went to the Williams for an early dinner.  We had lots of food, good company and they kids played hard and had 2 easter egg hunts.  Reggie got the golden egg at the Williams which had $5 in it.  You can imagine how excited he was about that :o).  We have a lot of candy in the house right now!  I hope you all had a wonderful Easter and are often reminded throughout the year of the sacrifice God made for us :o).

 Really....what am I supposed to do with a real egg??
