Happy Easter

We had a such a nice day celebrating Easter.  Earlier this weekend, we had friends over to decorate eggs.  We actually emptied the shells before we dyed them, so we could turn them into little ornaments.  So after church, we hung our easter eggs on my favorite tree outside.  It's been bare ever since we moved into this house in November, until the last few weeks.  Now, it has beautiful pink flowers on it, perfect to remind us of the new life we have because Jesus conquered the grave.

Here's a glimpse into our Easter celebrations:

We also spent part of the afternoon making a red, white, and blue paper chain to count down the days until we come back to America!  We bought plane tickets, and will be flying out on June 16th!  The girls and I had fun making it, singing songs like The Star-Spangled Banner, Yankee Doodle, Grand Old Flag, and God Bless America, the whole time!  It's funny how patriotic you become when you live outside the US.
