We had a wonderful Easter weekend! We went to Uncle Blake's and Aunt Melissa's house on Thursday and got to participate in the activities at their church. Saturday they had an egg hunt and lunch with games and crafts. It was rainy and yucky outside so the hunt was inside but since none of the little kids are competitive yet it really made no difference. They just all quietly went around picking up the eggs in the room. Such innocence!
Later that afternoon Grandma and Grandpa arrived and we had Easter dinner together. This is the first time we've all been together since we've been in the US so it was extra special. We also did Aunt Melissa's family's Easter tradition of cracking eggs. Each person has a partner and you hit eggs and the person whose egg doesn't crack moves on to the next round. Eliana won our contest this year!

Time to crack some eggs!
Yummy dinner! Cooking a meal is so easy and fast in America!
I made a Strawberry-Lemonade layer cake that was in this month's Southern Living. It was delicious!
We cut the cake Tajik style...cut a circle around the middle and then cut around the edges. So much easier!
This morning we had a sunrise service at Blake's church, breakfast and then regular church. It was so sweet to be together as family celebrating Jesus' resurrection. We are so blessed!
Eliana was having nothing to do with opening her eyes for this picture!
Now we are at the beach for a week with the family! Good times ahead!
