Easter Weekend!

Saturday the girls (Madilynn) couldn't wait till it was time to dye eggs! We ran errands Sat. morning...ate at the bread place, went to the seed store and got onion and strawberries to plant, rented a tiller, and went by lowes. So we dyed eggs right after lunch!

getting everything set up, Elizabeth had to check out the cups

dissolving the colors

Ohhh!

Wow! Madilynn is so excited!

Daddy had to show us how the shrink wrap was done! I told him I never remembered getting out the hairdryer to do those...

Elizabeth pretty much cracked every egg she touched!

She decided to take the stickers off of her egg and put them on the apple and then put them back. It kept her entertained for a little while!

All of our eggs! Next year I'm sure we'll do more, but we kept it simple this time.

After nap time it was time for the egg hunt! Entering the backyard...I see one already!

Madilynn got the first one

We had to point them out to Elizabeth, but once she saw it she got it quick!

Another one under the rock!

Madilynn found another one under a rock

Saturday evening after supper Madilynn helped me make Strawberry cake for Sunday! It was all pink so she loved it!

Madilynn helped until this point, then she said, "I've already seen you do that icing, so I don't have to watch you ice the other cake. I'm going downstairs with Daddy & Elizabeth." So I said okay. Then a little while later they came up for bed and I had it all done and Madilynn said, "Where's the other cake?" haha I had to explain that they were stacked and she'd see when we cut it.

Sunday morning at breakfast Daddy read Matthew 28 -The Resurrection at the table. We even had some little questions for Madilynn about what we read and she answered them right - so smart!

"He is not here; he has risen..." Matthew 28:6

Before we left for church

I thought this was cute...Elizabeth looking at Madilynn

After church we got a friend to take our family picture!

Then we came home for lunch...Daddy had round steak in the crock pot, and we had baked potatoes and corn with it. Madilynn posing at the bar (you know, she was up there eating on the olives and pickles - we ate the entire jar of sweet pickles at lunch!)

And then had cake for dessert!

We got to talk with lots of family yesterday. Then we did a video chat with Nana, Papa, & Ashlee. The first time we've "seen" Ashlee since she moved out to California! She showed us around the house she's living in, and the girls pretended to eat BBQ chicken with her - so cute!

He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.
