Easter!

I think this photo has some sort of special filter on it--some crazy elements going on here.

Mom and Dad came over to celebrate Easter. Jon & Courtney & their kids were in AZ, preparing to head to Mexico for a family mission trip to Curium House, where Courtney set up a dental clinic. Pretty amazing.

We ate together, had an egg hunt with the girls, and Mom gave them these punching balloons. All the girls went for a walk to the playground, and a little later Aunt Shelley came over and we had a great round of "The Name Game," a total family favorite. The girls are at the perfect age for participation.

It was a pleasant, sweet Easter, full of gentle fun and much love.
