Easter 2010

We had a great, great Easter 2010! It was busy but we had the best time!

We started off by getting Lily's pictures made by a friend of mine with live bunnies! Lily fell in love with the bunnies and wanted to keep one, but we decided her kittens may not like them.

Here are a few of the pictures. (I did something crazy with Photobucket, so click on each pic to see them larger.) They turned out great. I cannot wait to put them all over our house.










Next up, we had our annual egg hunt at our house with all of Lily's friends. We had around 15 kids and lots of parents. It was so much fun! Here are a few pics:

We had our Easter party at church this past Saturday! It rained that morning and was yucky outside so we hunted eggs in our church's empty parsonage. It was different hunting eggs inside but the kids didn't seem to mind. That evening, we did Easter with my parents. The Easter bunny came by their house and left Lily's Easter basket (one of them.) Then we hunted and dyed eggs at their house.









On Easter Sunday, the bunny came to our house bright and early with Lily's basket. Lily got two new movies, a Hannah Montana towel, and lots of candy and goodies. We went to sunrise services at church at 7 am and we were done there by 9:15 so we took some pictures and headed to BJ's parents for lunch and egg hunting with his family. His sisters, parents, uncles, and grandpa were all there and we had a great lunch.

We came home and got a much needed nap, and our Easter was over. I love Easter and so thankful for Jesus who died for us. The most important part is that He is Risen and he done that for all of us who are so undeserving.



I hope your holiday was as special as ours.

Our girl of many questions

Since turning three, Lily has became more mature and very inquisitive lately. She wants to know "why" about everything, and we better have a good explanation because she has questions about our explanation. Here are couple of examples of the good questions we have been asked by our smart girl:

While she and I were watching TLC one night, she asks..

"Mommy, what's wrong with that lady?"

"She's going to have a baby."

"Mommy, how does that baby come out?"

Mommy thinks for what seemed like forever, because mommy didn't realize it was time for this question and hadn't prepared a proper answer and responds,

"at the hospital, the doctors help the mommy get the baby out and a stork bring the baby to the mommy" - HA! Definitely not the best answer, but I've been thinking about what to say next time she asks and hoping we can revise this. (What have you told your kids about this?)


Next question...while eating at a local restaurant..

"Daddy, why is that man in that chair with wheels?" (loudly)

"Shhh, Lily! Don't talk to loud." "He hurt his legs."

"What's wrong with his legs, daddy?"

"He hurt them and can't walk so he has to be pushed around in that chair like we push you in your stroller"

She thinks for a while and seems to accept this answer...

While at church during the sermon one day a couple of weeks ago, Lily decided not to go to children's church..referring to the preacher, Lily asks me,

"Mommy, is he mad at us? " (loudly)

"Shh, Lily, whisper.."

"He's yellings at us, mommy"

"No, he's not mad, he's just talking loud so we all can hear."

a few minutes later..

"mommy, why does he keep talking about Jesus?"

"because he's supposed to tell us about Jesus, Lily"


There's many more where that came from, and I'm loving every minute but also learning I need to be much more prepared for these questions because they aren't getting easier and I know my answers are going to stick in her head so I don't want them to sound crazy.
