C.A.P.E. Arkansas: Easter 2010...finally!

Easter 2010 was awesome. Courtney was old enough to enjoy the egg decorating and old enough to learn the reason we celebrate Easter. We went to church Friday night and the kids sat with us which went very well. At the end of the service Pastor Mike gave families time to have the Lords Supper together and take their time before leaving. Paul took Ethan and I took Courtney. It was a great time for both of us. Paul to get a little deeper with Ethan and me to start explaining to Courtney. Courtney was able to comprehend what Good Friday was, the day Jesus died. And she knew for what...our sins. And I was even able to get her to understand what sins are. Kinda bit me in the butt soon after as we are walking to the parking lot when I had her tell Daddy what a sin is she replied "When I throw a fit and when Mommy yells". Ouch. But good. Saturday night we decorated eggs...lots and lots of eggs. Our neighbor is a distributor for Paas Egg Dying kits...so we had lots and lots of kits. Kits I'd never even seen before. One had nuts and bolts! Redneck? We stayed up way too late that night and had a blast and made a mess. Uncle Garrett was in town to enjoy the fun and clean up the mess...seriously. Thanks Gar! :-)

Easter morning we went to service then off to the War Eagle Mill for their 33rd annual egg hunt. We were not impressed as if Paul wouldn't have picked Courtney up and ran with her, she would not have even gotten the one egg she got. But she didn't care. She was still having fun. Since that egg hunt was a bomb Daddy ran in and hid the eggs we had colored so Courtney could find lots of eggs. Garrett was a good Uncle and 'helped' her. It was precious.
