Look MOM!!

Kelsie won this chocolate bunny in a class drawing. She was so sweet and offered to share it with the entire class. The kids loved getting a piece of it and the boys especially thought it was cool to eat "the brain." We were very proud of her for her willingness to share.

Happy Easter!!! We have had a busy week with all the season's activities going on. We went to a Passover Dinner at church on Wednesday night. A Messianic Jewish Rabbi came and led us in the Haggadah and explained the Jewish passover traditions and then explained the prophecies in light of Jesus. It was neat and very informative and has led to some good discussion with Kelsie. We all learned alot participating in a hands-on way and the Rabbi was funny and easy to listen to. Friday night we had a Good Friday service. Somber and a pointed reminder of what Christ did for us on the cross. This will make Easter Sunday sweeter as we celebrate His resurrection and thank Him for being present in our lives today. Thank you Jesus for the gift of your Son.

Kelsie has been busy with her own activities. Her class had their Easter party after chapel on Friday. The kids sang some songs, read a poem, did some activities, had an egg hunt and then dyed eggs. The kids were so creative in their designs and they were surprisingly neat for 17 kids messing with dye and paint. On Saturday we had our traditional egg hunt at our house - this was our 2nd year to have some of Kelsie's little girl friends over to hunt eggs and have a little party. We did something different this year and had a "Bunny Store." We set up a little shop with items Kelsie and I had been buying for the last month. We had a great time together finding things, making signs and deciding how to price the items. We stuffed the eggs with "Bunny Money" and once the girls opened up their eggs and counted their money, they could go shopping. Everyone had a great time shopping and then playing with the things they bought. The moms had a lunch of girl food - there were 3 dads there and they decided it was definitely girlie food and settled on jalapeno potato chips, the kids cheetos and sandwiches. The best part was hiding and hunting eggs in the snow. It was snowing like crazy at some points and the girls had a good time bundling up and playing in it. Well, hope your Easter is a good one - maybe warmer than ours is suppose to be. I hope to get some pictures of Kelsie in her dress but no promises that they will be outside pics....we are suppose to have cold weather again tomorrow.
