Charis had a great time at our sweet friend Natalie's 5th birthday party. Natalie and her mom planned a little girl dream morning get together complete with curlers, green face masks, and foot treatments in what Charis called "little pools" (foot massagers :0). Add in the glazed donuts they decorated with icing, sprinkles and m&m's, and it's no wonder she went hard all day talking like crazy and then crashed hard at 8:00! What a fun day! (Selah was there too, but she was only interested in having her toenails painted and eating m&m's off of everyone's plate!)
Selah and Eden had their own personal hunt after naptime. It was fun to watch them discover the eggs and really get into the fun. They shared and didn't seem concerned about the prizes inside. It was all in the journey :-)
Charis had Grace as her personal egg-hunting partner. Charis shared some of her bountiful chocolate with Grace once they sat down to open them up. All the kids shared and had a great time searching. With nearly 50 people, it was a beautiful day with sunshine, lots of food, and we enjoyed staying outside all afternoon to fellowship with our wonderful neighbors. It was awesome to hear how God had worked in lives so faithfully and to catch up on prayer needs as we visited with families from Africa and China and missionaries to the Middle East who are preparing to return there within a few months. What a fantastic way to spend Resurrection Sunday.
