This year Easter just snuck up on us. One week it was a month away and next thing
we knew we were playing catch up trying to get through our resurrection eggs in
time for Easter Sunday.
This year it was filled with less extras, but was so
sweet because of it. At lunch we opened
our last resurrection egg and read and talked about what the significance of
that empty tomb. I have loved our
conversations with Calvin recently about Jesus.
He’s really starting to get it and ask some good questions. Now just so you don't think it was a peaceful time, the whole time Micah just kept saying, “pray, pray” getting louder and louder. The poor boy just wanted to eat. But I’m thankful that even now Micah’s
hearing about resurrection and salvation.
I had some left over shrink wrap covers left over from
last year. So Easter morning I boiled
some eggs and Marvin helped the boys wrap some eggs. It was by far my favorite egg decorating
experience. I just turned on the chai-nik
(electric kettle) and made sure the water stayed hot and you should have heard
the wows. They were impressed. I forgot to bring them to our egg hunt later
in the day, so we enjoyed them for lunch that week.
We had an egg hunt at home and Calvin was so
excited. He was literally bouncing off
the walls in anticipation. After each
egg Micah found, he would plop himself down, open it up and gobbled up the
candy. He enjoyed the sugar
tremendously.
The boys enjoyed a few goodies grandma and grandpa sent.
When I was busy cooking and Marvin was having
his quiet time Micah figured out how to get the package of little chocolate bunnies
opened and devoured all of them. He
loves chocolate.
Later in the day we were able to get together with other
ex-pats in our area. It was a sweet time
together, we had an egg hunt for the kids, then a worship service together. Unfortunately by the time our worship service began it was freezing
and I had a little boy crashing from his sugar high and ready for bed.
We’re thankful for a reason to celebrate.
