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!
Oh how cute! Sounds like they had to get used to the idea, but are learning & having fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat 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! :)
Michlyn,
ReplyDeleteThank 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!

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! :)
