Resurrection Day

I hope you all had a wonderful Resurrection Day.  I love it that there is a holiday where we celebrate Jesus rising from the dead!  I was glad that Sienna slept through the music at church.  We had a choir (which I don’t think we ever have had before), and sang some great songs such as the Hallelujah Chorus.  Gary thought it was the best church service that our church has had.

One tradition in Hungary is that the boys spray the girls with water on Easter Monday, which is a holiday here.  I’ve never seen this happen, but Gary actually saw some guys doing it to a teenage girl who lives a few houses down from us.IMG_8716Michelle got Sienna this 0-3 month dress, but it’s been too big for her till now.  So I was glad she was able to finally wear it.  Kristen got her this onesie which happened to match perfectly.

Our teammates, the Beattys, invited us to their place for a cookout and potluck, and for the kids to hunt for eggs.  There were 2 other families and 2 single girls who joined us.IMG_8772Ethan didn’t understand the concept of looking for eggs at all.  He walked right over the first one.  So Gary gave him some help in seeing the eggs.  He just pointed to the next one (in the picture above).  Later he came back to it and touched it but didn’t want to pick it up.IMG_8770   He finally picked one up and put it in the bag with much encouraging from us.IMG_8773But he quickly went on to other things that were more fun such as carrying the trailer around.

We love his expressions in the next 2 pictures.IMG_8785IMG_8791IMG_8766It’s really hard to get a decent family picture now with 2 little ones.  This was the best we could do without taking forever to do it.
