A little Easter recap...

Hi there! We are back.  It was really nice to unplug this last week and we had a very fun, very FULL easter weekend.  I think we are still catching up!
Here were some little highlights of our family time:
Holy week lent itself to some very fun family discussions at dinner time:
 Kit made some amazing dinners:
Ryder has been asking more and more questions about Jesus and it has led to some really precious conversations about God's love.  Easter is such an incredible redemption story!
We are also loving the Jesus Action Bible.  A current favorite:
Good friday The kids had runny noses so we weren't able to go to church, but Kit said there were such cool moments as a church family of small group time and connection:
Saturday we had a birthday party for my cousin's little girl, and my mom, dad, and niece came to hang for the day.  We got to practice our Easter egg hunting skills and we got to all have dinner together:
( I wish that I had gotten more photos.  The kids had so much fun!)
Easter morning was spent at the Verizon amphitheater:
 We had the PRIVILEGE to help baptize people at the end of service.  I was welled up the ENTIRE time...  what an honor it was!
Then we headed home to spend Easter with Kit's family!
The whole family was able to be together.
it was so fun!
We died eggs, had an easter egg hunt, ate lots of food, took lots of pictures, and celebrated Kit's mom's birthday:
It was such a fun day of being all together!
On Monday, after all the festivities, we headed with Kit's parents to a quiet beach in Laguna.  It's 20 minutes from our house and we and so much fun exploring tide pools and watching Ryder running in the waves and watching Eden eat a ton of snacks and sand.
 We saw lots of sea anemones, a small star fish, sea urchins, tiny fish and lots of sea snails and crabs.
Ryder was in heaven!
It was a weekend filled with family and lots of memories...
We are so thankful!
