Happy Easter!

We had a wonderful Easter and overall, the kids are doing really well.  We still have small challenges to work through everyday, but we have made a lot of progress.  We celebrated Easter last year in Colombia and had just gotten the kids. As we look back at all of our pictures of our time together in Bogota,our kids are so much happier now.  Here is a picture of the kids with the Easter bunny at the mall.  They had never celebrated Easter and heard about the Easter bunny.  It was also our first time to get ice cream at the mall.  This became one of our favorite activities.

In school, the kids learned about the religious side of Easter and the real reason we celebrate Easter.  They completely understood and wrote stories about Jesus dieing on the cross to save us from our sins.  We read the Easter story in the bible together and made cookies called resurrection cookies.  The cookies represented the empty cave three days after Jesus died on the cross.

We also celebrated the fun side of Easter by dying Easter eggs and having an Easter egg hunt.  We spent the week eating all of the eggs!  The kids have so much candy now from the Easter egg hunt.  They loved it all!

On Easter Sunday, we went to Easter Sunday service at our church.  The kids love church, and we are so thankful for that!
