Easter!

In spite of some rainy weather, we had a beautiful Easter. The fun actually started when Grandma Karen arrived on Thursday the 21st in time to tour Emma's new preschool and later to see her swimming lessons. She brought a new outfit for Emma's bunny and a few other goodies. On Friday, Karen, Emma and I made cut-out cookies and went to Emma's gymnastics class. On Saturday, our church held an egg hunt, then we went home and dyed Easter eggs, a first for Emma. On Easter Sunday, we went to church, then we came home to find Easter eggs and a basket from the bunny, as well as a new picnic table! Finally we headed to Grandma and Papa Isch's house for Easter dinner and another egg hunt! With Easter so late this year, it feels like we stretched it out more than usual, but Emma's not complaining! Not only that, but Emma's getting pretty good at relaying the Easter story from hearing it so many times this year. When I asked her if she remembered why we celebrate Easter, she said, "Jesus died on a cross, they put him in a cave, and now he's fine!"
