Easter Party
Easter is coming up!
This week I have been reading John 16 and was greatly encouraged by some of the verses.
John 16:5-7
"But now I am going away to the One who sent me, and not one of you is asking where I am going. Instead, you grieve because of what I've told you. But in fact, it is best for you that I go away, because if I don't the Advocate won't come. If I do go away, then I will send him to you."
John 16:20-22
"I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn over what is going to happen to me, but the world will rejoice. You will grieve, but your grief will suddenly turn to wonderful joy. It will be like a woman suffering the pains of labor. When her child is born, her anguish gives way to joy because she has brought a new baby into the world. So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again."
Jesus died.
Jesus rose from the dead.
This is to our benefit.
This morning we went to an Easter Party at Autumns house. She explained Jesus' death and resurrection through some trinkets in eggs! The kids were very sweet as they opened up eggs with a donkey, coins, a cup, a cross, a rock and finally ... an empty egg to signify that Jesus was not in his tomb any longer because he has risen from the dead! These kids seem to know the story well!
Brooksy even listened well! :)
Then the boys got to do an easter egg "hunt" which wasn't much of a hunt! Poor McCabe didn't quite get it. He didn't gather any of his own eggs. It did pick one up, sat on his bottom, opened it and started immediately eating the candy inside. Thanks to Big Brother Leighton and friend Hannah, McCabe got a handful of eggs to take home.
Then lunch and lots of fellowship.
Leighton played with trains and McCabe played with Brooks! McCabe really does LOVE his baby brother. 
I am so blessed. I have a wonderful family and have a saving relationship with my Lord and Savior who rose from the dead on Easter.

Easter
We spent Easter at Grandpa and Grandma Hukee's house. We enjoyed very nice weather and lots of great company and food. We also had a great morning at church. Dan spoke about the importance of the resurrection and I was greatly encouraged. It reminded me of my confidence in the Lord's death and resurrection and renewed my hope for Heaven. It was a great and refreshing way to start off the day. We also liked seeing all the little kids all dressed up!

Our attempt at a family picture. I think I am the only one our of the 4 of us who wanted to take the picture. You can read that on the faces of our two little sons!

Easter Egg Hunt
I took the boys to Beaverdale Park for a fun Easter Egg Hunt. We went with Meg, Quinn, Rex and Myla, and also with Anna and Dan Judd, Eliza and Adeline. We ended up running into the Roberts and Geikens too! We all had a lot of fun.
Leighton and Quinn played on the playground before it started.
Eliza, Quinn and Leighton getting ready start the Egg hunt!
Below Leighton is picking up Candy. Poor guy didn't have a cute bucket or basket to put his candy into. He only had a bag, which made him a little sad. So he would just pick up candy and put it in other kids baskets or give it to other parents. He was such a kind boy. We did manage to get a couple pieces of candy into the bag! I hate all the vanilla tootsie rolls!
Afterwards, Leighton and Quinn had a blast destroying the boundary markers.
Leighton found Sara's vacant stroller and started to push it. Soon, Quinn joined him. Then a couple minutes later, all the boys were enjoying it, 2 boys sitting and 2 boys pushing. It was so cute.
It was a fun day to be outside. We enjoyed spending the morning outside with friends.

Afterward, Luke got to have a daddy day with the boys and I headed to Ames to watch the boys Aunt Jenna in a fashion show. It was increadible. I am thankful that I don't have to wear 5 1/2 inch heals! Great job Jenna, you looked beautiful!
