It is Finished!

We've been building up to Easter for 6 weeks, and we're all excited to be celebrating the risen Lord today! Thank you to Grandma English who taught us the great Easter song Sophia sings in this video:
It's hard to make out the stone from the tomb in this photo, but this is the "empty tomb cake" Wes made as our final Easter treat. Thanks to Grandma English for inspiring us with this idea.
 Our finished Easter "Advent" Calendar
 Sophia requested Easter decorations this year to aid our celebration. (banner says "Christ is Risen!")
The girls created a makeshift beach to use with their Easter gifts until we can get to a real one!

    We made empty tomb cakes, too. I had never heard of them until Amanda somehow stumbled across the recipe recently, but I thought they were pretty neat and Nathan was totally amazed. How is Wes' new job? Things going well? Do you guys have any "home" trips planned soon? We would love to see you guys!

      I just noticed that Blogger replies with my goofy name, which isn't much help to you, rather than my real name, which is Chad Barnes.
