Easter

I love Easter.  I love celebrating Jesus' resurrection.  We went to church Easter Sunday then had brunch with my sister in law and brother in law.  It was nice. 

Mia and I wore matching dresses (Gymboree).  I love that she still wants to dress like me. 

Mia loves her cousin Emma.

Dying Eggs

Right before Easter, we finally had a chance to dye eggs. We had a great time decorating them with stickers and tattoos. 

Cherry Blossoms

Seeing the Cherry Blossoms in full bloom is one of the perks of working in DC.  They are beautiful.  While the tourists make my commute longer-- it's definitely enjoyable. 

 

 

 

Palm Sunday

Palm Sunday....  Love these two!

1st Soccer game of the season

March 28th was the kid's 1st soccer game of the season.  Mia's team is called the Tigers.  Paxton's team is the Coconuts.  Not sure where the kids came up with those names. 

Needless to say, we were freezing that day.

I'm so glad it's spring now!

Colon Cancer Awareness- a month late

Wow, I'm really behind on blogging.  March was Colon Cancer Awareness Month.  Last May, I lost my Dad to Colon Cancer so this is a cause near and dear to my heart now. 

We wore our blue on March 6th

Mia is holding the stuffed puppy she had bought for her Grandpa a few years ago.  She decided to take care of it after he passed away

On March 28th, we did a 5k for Colon Cancer

This was my 1st 5k.  It was a great family event. 

 

 

The Beginner's Bible Come Celebrate Easter

 

So, Easter passed a few weeks ago and clearly I'm behind.  I ordered this book a while ago and I have to say, I was very happy with it.  The text is easy to read and the activities are fun and age appropriate.  Each page contains several activities and talk about the true meaning of Easter.  Overall, I really liked this book.
