Hoppy Easter!

So... I'm pretty sure I use that same pun name on the post every year, but I couldn't immediately think of something else, so we're keeping it!  Happy happy Easter!  Here's the family after church while we were still in our Easter best!

Winry decided to take the leap and got bangs this past week.  She's looking adorable!  This is the first time one of our girls has had bangs since Winry was young enough her hair was only this long.  She's loving it so far.

On Friday we were invited over to the Reichner's house for a Good Friday dinner.  We ate foods more like what might have been available at the Last Supper, and we also ate on the floor.  After dinner the kids blitzed for the back yard and had a ton of fun playing together.  I eventually got sucked in by the allure of a trampoline and found out I can still do a front flip!  We had a ton of fun, and are very grateful for the invitation.

On Saturday Winry and Grayson were playing together, and they were playing king and queen.  Winry drew a portrait of them holding their babies, which is the obvious way you'd play kings and queens, ya know.

Winry got invited to a party at a trampoline park, Urban Air.  They had some other obstacle course type stuff to play in too.  I followed Winry around for the first bit until she got connected with her friends, and then they ran off and had a blast.

When we got back from the party we dyed Easter eggs.  Monica tried making her own dyes this year from various foods, and some worked pretty well, and others won't return next year if we try it again.

Here are the eggs.  Some of them we left soaking for quite a while, and most of them have a good color.  I think the eggs that didn't work we ended up moving to a second color.

Our family was asked to sing a musical number at church, and I very much enjoyed it from our bench!  Everyone did a great job.

And then all the kids got to go back up again to sing with the Primary!

On Sunday morning the kids were excited to find their baskets, and searched the house for Easter eggs.  It was raining and wet, so the Easter bunny left a basket of eggs for us to hide outside later if things dried up, and I just ended up scattering them around the house after church.  There was even a Lego set scattered throughout a bunch of eggs, and when we went to build it, we found out we missed an egg!  Don't worry, we eventually found it.

In this Easter season, I also want to bear my Testimony of our Savior, Jesus Christ.  I know He lives!  I am so grateful for His atonement, that he suffered for our sins, and that through His blood we can become clean again!  I am so grateful for His mercy, and that I can continue to improve and progress through his grace.  In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
