Easter Snow Hunt




It was one degree outside as I bundle up the girls for an egg hunt in the park.

I had my doubts -- maybe it was cancelled, no other parent is going to be crazy enough to bring their kids out in the cold for a little candy.

Imagine my surprise as we pull up to the park and saw about thirty cars.












My throat got tight as I looked into the eyes of these children in their gloves and boots and I knew

. . . these Idaho parents really love their kids.









READY FOR ACTION
It's all about the hunt . . . 











Easter Sunday at home
Happy Easter, everyone!

Four at last!

Friday was Lily's birthday.
We had ice cream with Grandma and Grandpa
on Monday. On Thursday, Lily went to her cousins house
while we did a surprise makeover on her bedroom.
We finished celebrating with cake and ice cream on Friday.

Our Sunday Best

Lily was the spotlight this Sunday.

Our spotlight lady turns off the lights
and shines a flashlight on the spotlighted child.
Lily later told us the "spylady" shined a light on her.
She told everyone she was born on Pi-day.
They thought she said Fri-day.

The block was her birthday gift from Primary
