Easter

Easter was fun this year.  We tried to emphasize the real reason we celebrate, and I think we did a decent job of overshadowing the egg hunts and baskets with the resurrection of Jesus.  Michael and I discovered that explaining death and resurrection to a 4-year old is a tricky thing, what with her concrete thinking and all that.  Fortunately she also has child-like faith and took our fumbling explanation and ran with it, even attempting to explain to Charlotte what was happening when we made resurrection rolls :D

Mostly unrelated to the above paragraph, my grandma bought Maya a megaphone for Easter.  Because, you know, she needed to be louder.  Michael joked that she collects peoples' unused words and uses them for herself...and now the neighbors get to hear them, too ;) 

 

It's MINE!

And it's DELICIOUS!
