Easter Egg Hunt

We headed to Corvallis on 4/17 to participate in an Easter egg hunt. The kids had so much fun! I love watching the kids' face light up over such simple things as hunting for plastic eggs. These are the moments I really don't want them to grow up - adults really can learn so much from children.

Ok - can we talk about her hair?! We have taken to wetting it down every morning and combing it, but it takes on a life of its own, especially if she has spent time in her carseat or her bed.

Jude's jubilee at finding eggs. Yes, he wears superhero paraphernalia almost every day.

This is the best shot I could get of the cousins - I have a real respect for professional photographers who photograph children.

Easter

The kiddos and I headed out to our new church building in Wilsonville yesterday morning. It was insanely crowded and quite a trek from my neck of the woods but I'm glad I went. I spent the ride in the car talking to the boys about Resurrection Sunday and what we die eggs for (I like to tie everything into the birth and death of Jesus - I can find similarities in just about anything - it's one of my hidden talents).

I also had some family over for Easter dinner. Here are some pictures:

Sarah and Eden.

Samuel's Easter shirt. Festive, I thought.

This is the only picture I caught of Juliet - she had a bit of a punk outfit on for Easter. Also, she loved this stuffed baby chicken.

Jude with red dye all over his face - not sure if that was the jelly beans or the red eggs.

Joel and Ella - such a sweet little Easter dress!

Eden.
