*EASTER DAY*

Both the girls ended up crashing in our bed for the night, so it made it easy for them to wake up and tell us when it was morning. Of course I always go downstairs and check the scene out before the girls get too (usually it's me getting my camera ready.) I think this was the first year Maren understood what the Easter Bunny did, so she was super excited to come down the stairs. Alexa of course has been excited for as long as I can remember. Finally they got to come down the stairs and see what the Easter Bunny brought them in their baskets. I asked the girls what their favorite thing was and Alexa loved her new pink wii remote and Maren loved her new necklace. Although, I think her favorite was her Princess and the Frog DVD. After a morning of egg searching we headed to church.
For the past 6 weeks, we have been listening to the steps leading up to the death of Jesus. The church we have been attending does an amazing job explaining everything and doesn't assume that we know everything. I really have enjoyed listening to it all. Of course I have heard all of it in the past, but for some reason this church and Pastor Adams does a great job at keeping my attention and really making each Sunday meaningful. Usually the girls go to Sunday school while we attend church, but today only Maren went and Alexa came to the family service with us.
