We had an awesome weekend. Aidan and Keenan tested for their next belts in Tao Kwon Do. Keenan was nervous about having to break a board for the first time, but he did great and broke it on the first try. Unfortunately, I don't have a good picture of his break. He passed and received his yellow belt. Aidan tested and passed his test receiving his brown belt. Here is a picture of his break ...
And one of the boys with their new belts ...
Bella had a field trip with her school last week. She came home painted like a kitty. Part of the paint had been rubbed off, but I had to take a picture. The teacher said she had a fantastic time. Here is a picture of her after the field trip and one of her in a pretty spring dress ...
We had a wonderful first Easter with Bella. She absolutely LOVED finding eggs. She enjoyed opening and closing the eggs even if there wasn't anything in them. We are so blessed that we can freely worship our Lord and Saviour. The ultimate sacrifice was given for us, one that I don't think any of us can ever fully grasp. But I know that I am so grateful.
Easter morning the kids woke to find their baskets filled and a clue left by the Easter bunny. That clue led to another one, which led to another one and so on and so on. They found goodies along the way and had so much fun! They were squealing with delight. Their laughter and joy was such a blessing and a wonderful way to start our celebration of Christ's resurrection.
Every year we have both sides of our family at our house for Easter dinner after church. I'm not sure how many people were here, but there were a lot! The kids just soaked up all of the attention! We had an Easter egg hunt outside and the kids (including my nephew, Hunter), had a blast. Here are some pics from our day ...
