Since Grandma and Grandpa John were coming out to meet Drake and be here for his baby blessing, as well as help Jeff start building a deck, we also timed it so that they could be here for our Easter festivities. It was so wonderful to have them here!
Before they got here we started off the week of Easter making palm fronds and reenacting the Triumphal Entry, and then talking about what Christ did that last week of His ministry.
Grandma and Grandpa got here in time for our annual "Jerusalem Dinner" that we do in honor of the Last Supper on Thursday. Lamb chops, grape juice, pitas and crackers with boursin, salad with almonds, red onion and goat cheese, pistachios, olives, lentil soup and strawberries for dessert. Yum!
The kids went to two Easter Egg Hunts, once with our community and once with a group of church friends.
On Saturday the kids colored Easter Eggs with Grandma.
Then everyone went outside and ended up playing a spontaneous "sticker" game, followed by a walk around the neighborhood.
When we returned we found that the Easter Bunny had visited our very own backyard,
leaving a big present and hiding eggs all over the place!
The present turned out to be a soccer goal!
We love having Grandma & Grandpa with us!
The kids especially loved that Grandpa freely shared his ipad with them!
On Easter morning the kids (and Grandma & Grandpa) were super excited to find presents from Mom and Dad.
This Easter Sunday was also Drake's baby blessing.
After church the missionaries joined us for a big Easter dinner. Great Grandma Call had sent us these adorable little bunny cups that I used to decorate our table.
