easter recap


We had a wonderful easter weekend. As is tradition, the weekend started off with International Kite Day on Saturday. The weather was decent and we had a great time flying kites and playing in the park. After kites, it was egg hunting, bbq and finding easter baskets. Travis' parents always make the holidays so fun for us and our kids- thanks guys!

We loved being able to explain some of the reasons behind our easter celebration to Beck as he can comprehend a lot more this year. You never know if any of what you are trying to teach is sticking, but I was so proud when we were driving in the car on Monday and he randomly started telling me parts of the Easter story. He told me "the guys felt Jesus' hands", "Jesus was in a cave (tomb)", and "Jesus resurrected". I may have teared up a little as his sweet little voice was recapping some of the most important events to have ever happened. It also was motivation to always look for opportunities to teach and explain because even if the concept seems way over their head, their little brains are like sponges and something will be soaked up.

Dal and Joss brought their new pet to celebrate with us.






This year we had a few runaway kites...aka kids letting go...so a little chasing was involved. I think Ashlee actually saved this one.










I was shocked when Beck remembered that Mimi and Papa give everyone flashlights to find the easter baskets. He was so excited!
