Easter Joy! Even though it was a very rainy day here on Easter Sunday, it was a beautiful day because Jesus is Alive! What a wonderful (but difficult) story to share with Trista this year. We talked about the reason we celebrate on Easter quite a few times the weeks leading up to Easter and she really seemed to follow the story until the end and then she asks the same question each time: "How can Jesus be in Heaven and in my heart?" Followed by "How does Jesus fit in my heart?" Tough questions - such a curious mind!
Just thought we would share some highlights from our Easter events. I will have to post pictures of the kids on Easter Sunday later, because all the pics are on Susana's camera. Grandma sent the kids adorable Easter outfits - Trista looked so grown up in her aqua dress and sweater and Trace looked like handsome little man in his argyle vest. (I will post a picture soon). We enjoyed Easter dinner at the Iliria's house with them & the Greth family. We had a delicious meal and enjoyed the kids - watching them hunt for 200 eggs inside the house!
Coloring Easter Eggs:
Special Easter Chocolates from Papa. Trace said "vroom, vroom" immediately when he opened is and drove it all across the table:

Trista loved her chocolate piano - which is just like the real piano that Papa gave her and brought to AR from Indiana in February. She loves to "play" and make up her own songs on her real piano. We often have to ask her to stop screaming while she plays the piano, but she tells us she was just trying to sing loud enough so we could hear her in the family room.
Grandma sent both kids wonderful Easter buckets with goodies and fun toys. Their favorite toy was the shakin car. Thank goodness Grandma found one in pink so they both got one, or Trista would have stolen Trace's.
