Easter Bunnies

Here are the precious ones in all their Easter finery. Speaking of which, E's new Easter dress gave us a great opportunity to talk about Jesus. She asked why she got to have a new dress, and it was wonderful to explain that on Easter, Jesus made all things new. His death on the cross and resurrection gave us new life and new access to God. So to remember those truths and to celebrate them, we wear new clothes. Bonus: I added that our new clothes are often white to symbolize Christ's purity and the purity of His sacrifice. (Not sure if she was still listening at that point, but I liked the thought.)

Anyway, here are our two little bunnies.




















We also got to spend some precious, wonderful time with Matt's family who drove up to spend the day.

E really liked these chairs and wanted to be a big girl and take her picture in one. She also really likes her Siti and insisted that she sit in one of the chairs, too.



































She also LOVES her Ghido and spent 20 minutes playing tickles with him.














E had a special treat: Uncle "Doo" came in town with his fiancee Jennifer. They had some sort of game that involved their heads and squeaking. Not sure how to play, but it made E giggle. :)





























And of course, there was the wee one who gave her Siti and Ghido some much coveted smiles.















As a special bonuse, here is a final pic of our little fam. We LOVE being a family of four and thank God frequently for the gift of these precious girls. We also thank Him for the opportunity to tell them about Jesus and the sacrifice He made for us. He truly is good!
