Everyday, but especially today, we praise our Father for the gift of His Son and the forgiveness He offers us through the resurrection of Jesus. Ellie shared in this excitement as she danced her heart out after church.

Easter Morning
For Easter it is a tradition to make Easter Nests/Baskets the day before with grass and flowers. The flowers are planted at Thanksgiving. This year we used tulips. Then we place the nests in baskets and put them in the living room. In the morning when the kids wake up they're full of Easter goodies. It was so cute to see Ellie actually understand what was going on this year. When she saw all of her Easter gifts she just started tearing through the basket...then of course she saw Ethan's and helped him discover all of his new toys. There were toys, books, and even money in eggs from Aunt Kalen and Uncle Joe. A couple of things were from mommy and daddy, but of course there were some items from the Easter Bunny! Unfortunately this was a busy time of morning and we videotaped instead of taking pictures, so I'm sorry we can't share pictures, but we do have the rest of our day captured on camera! Ellie and Ethan got their Easter outfits from Grandma and Grandpa Robinson this year and they are adorable! Thanks to everyone who helped make this Easter so special.
Easter Day
We spent our Easter with friends of ours from the Seminary. It's so wonderful to be surrounded by such close friends when family is far away. The Kalbas Family began the day by going to church with our friends Andrew, Daisy, and Miriam. In the afternoon everyone came over to our house for an Easter Egg Hunt, time to visit with each other, and some yummy supper made by my husband the chef!!

What's So Funny?
These are just a few pictures (and video) that make us smile. We recently discovered that Ethan bursts out into full belly laughter when you tickle his thighs. We hope you enjoy these as much as we do!
