We woke up Easter morning to a blanket of fresh snow - about 4 inches! Finally, we had snow on the ground - we waited all winter for it. Leave it to Kansas to provide it for us at the beginning of Spring. It was the ultimate Easter surprise! It says in Isaiah 1:18: "Come now let us reason together," says the Lord. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow . . ."
It didn't last long, though, and by late afternoon it was all gone!
We celebrated with both sides of the family on Sunday, and apparently, none of the kids are too old yet to hunt for eggs and baskets! At the Duerksen gathering, the cousins each hid one egg for each of the other cousins - which turned out great until Cambry couldn't remember where she hid Mace's egg. I think it was found eventually!
And on my side of the family, my mother and aunt finally came up with a color system to prevent certain older children from finding more eggs than the younger cousins.
It all went pretty smoothly, and we even got everyone smiling for the cousin picture - although some with sillier smiles than others!
