Easter

Happy Easter! We had a wonderful Easter together as a family. For once the boys slept in, so I hated waking them up to get ready for church, but we did. Tyler and Carter were in the service with us for the first time, while we put Nolan in the nursery as usual. The boys did pretty well. When the band started playing Carter covered his ears saying it was to loud, but got over it pretty quickly. By the middle of the second song he was standing in the aisle to see the band better. They got to go up and hear the Children's sermon and received and empty Easter egg to represent the empty tomb. Tyler came back to his seat and colored some pictures. Carter decided he didn't want to color pictures and then got upset when his egg came apart. Justin had to take him out once and sit with him along the wall so he wouldn't disturb anyone. Tyler however did great. He drew one picture of the three crosses and an empty tomb with Jesus' cloths in it, one picture of Jesus in the tomb before he went to heaven and Jesus had a very big heart), and one picture of a boy who loves Jesus. Wonderful to see!
After the service we came home, took some pictures, let the boys get their baskets, and had a small indoor egg hunt as there was snow on the ground. Then we went over to Seth and Leah's for dinner. A very relaxing and great family day!
