Easter Weekend

We had a great time celebrating Easter this past weekend. On Saturday, we went to our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt. It stopped raining just long enough for us to decide to go. As soon as we got there, the rain started up again, but nothing says Easter in the Northwest like a wet egg hunt! The grass was covered in eggs, but it only took about 20 seconds for the kids to pick them all up. Grace had a great time despite the rain and gave a glimpse of her competitive side.

On Sunday, we celebrated Jesus' resurrection at our new church. (Jeff and I, along with 50 other families, have been a part of planting a new church in downtown Bellevue, The Downtown Church.) It was exciting to see the building so full on Easter morning!Later in the day, our family joined us at our house for an indoor egg hunt and dinner. Grace and Jacob were both expert egg finders, while Charlie sat and enjoyed the two eggs he grabbed. Sadly, Jeff's mom was ill, and we missed having Grammy and Bop be part of the celebration.
