Steve was in the Phillipeans for Easter...booo...I thought about postponing our celebration (a whole month!), but I think that would have been a bit confusing for the kids. My good friend Liesl invited us to her church that morning. They had a brunch afterwards as well. We had our own mini Easter egg hunt when we got home, and that evening we went for our usual walk. It was nice. We missed family a lot, but were thankful for good friends that day. And we continue to feel lucky to have the chance to live here.=)
Each kiddo had plastic eggs in a pot as part of our Easter decorations. The night before Easter one of their eggs "laid" some "magic jelly beans." They "planted" those beans in their little pot filled with grass, and on Easter morning it "grew" a lollipop. I found this idea on the internet of course. I was a little unprepared and didn't have any lollipops, so I just stuck an oreo onto a crafting stick. Hey, it worked!
Even though it was completely crowded, we managed to snap a picture of Avery with the Easter bunny when he visited Tengan Castle. Noah was not into it.
They made these cute little chicks out of playdough.
Easter morning (see the oreo pops coming out of the pots!).
Playing with the big bubble wands...one of their favorite gifts from the bunny...except it wasn't long before all the bubble solution spilled.=(

I got to stick him in his cousins' little suit again. (probably the last time)
Avery picked out her dress at the PX (haha).
Avery and Addy. They've known each other since they were itty bitty in California. Then they moved to Okinawa and we got to follow!
