Our First Family Easter


We have had fun experiencing holidays through the eyes of our children.

Easter morning... the kiddos just found their baskets

Everything is new and exciting!

Though our children have always lived on American soil, they came from a very different world. 

This year they were able to experience Easter and how Easter has changed the world forever. We love hearing them talk about why Christ died on the cross and what it means!

Resurrection Eggs (they absolutely LOVED this!)

They enjoyed every single activity we tried.
Though sometimes they looked at us like we were crazy!



Easter Baskets
(made at 11pm by yours truly the procrastinating Easter Bunny)

They were quite confused when their baskets were not hidden in the same place their 
Christmas stockings were...that only seemed logical!

Pinterest Idea =)

Our family chick deviled egg project ended up being Mommy's project after the 3rd chick


and the bunny bread was a hit.

Today we celebrated Our Risen Savior. 
He is risen and NORMAL is OVER because of it! 
Praise God!

P.S. You all should know how physically painful it is for me to not post pictures of my littles!

  1. Oh how cute! Sounds like they had to get used to the idea, but are learning & having fun!

    What a great post, and I hope you had a good Easter as a family! He is risen!

    Blessings,

    P.S. When do you think the adoption will be finalized? I really want to see pictures of your littles too. Especially all dressed up for Easter! :)

  2. Michlyn,

    Thank you so much for your kind words!

    We are hoping for adoption to be finalized within the next few months - only time will tell!

    It's just a lot of paperwork!

    But as soon as it's done - pictures here we come!

  3. Yay! :) Praying for it to go smoothly, and fast. I can understand the paperwork, when we brought my little sister home in July 2010 - We finally finished the re-adoption (in court in the U.S. - not Ethiopia this time) in March 2011. It was worth the wait! :)
