The girls were part of a small group of children who led the motions to several songs that were sung at the children's Easter celebration that was held by our church in the courtyard of a hotel.
"Your love has captured me..." I love the look in Gwen's eyes in this picture. Reminds me of how God desires all of us to come to Him, trusting completely, like a child.
"Lord, we lift Your name on high"
After the singing, one mom went through the Resurrection Eggs (a dozen plastic Easter eggs with an object inside each one to represent one aspect of the death and resurrection of Jesus) and read the accompanying story to all the kids.
Waiting eagerly for the Easter egg hunt to begin!
I wasn't sure Seth would want to participate in the hunt, but he did, holding up his t-shirt to collect eggs, in place of a basket. When you're twelve, you can go either way. :-)
We colored eggs at our house when we arrived home on Easter Sunday after the children's celebration. We had time to color our eggs and have our own egg hunt and Easter baskets before we went to our regular service in the afternoon.
I thought it best to just remove Gwen's shirt for egg coloring... skin is easier to wash than clothes!
She found one! Gwen made this cute bunny basket at school.
Checking out the contents of the eggs.
Notice the unusual Easter baskets I used for the boys.... I didn't bring any baskets with us to China, and it turns out that skateboarding helmets work just as well. :-)

The look on Gwen's face while she does the motions is so priceless!

Funny about the helmets! Last year both the boys needed new helmets, so I bought them new ones for Easter and these were their Easter baskets. They were thrilled! Great minds, don't you know? :)
Looks like you had a great Easter! Love Madelyn's hair :)
