...a few weeks late. Ah-hem..sorry, I've been a little slack lately in my blogging. So, without further ado here are some Easter pics and hopefully one of these days I'll be caught up to our current life events and I can fill you in on all the upcoming excitement awaiting the Dirks this summer.
Most children get chocolate and candy in their Easter baskets, but the poor Dirks' kids got toothbrushes. It was actually not too bad, because you see they are electric and cool and our kids are only 3 and 1, so pretty much anything goes (or so I tell myself..hope I'm not turning into "that" mom). So we started the morning off pants-less, but with some good looking chompers.
Henry wasn't fooled by the toothbrush for long, pretty soon it was "hey you...put down the camera and open my sucker...suck-ah!"
While on the other side of the table, Maggie cuddled with her new matching bunny eared pony, pinkie pie....yup that's right.
Also, Easter morning we saw that our play-doh tomb was empty and Jesus was gone! The little people were all in a mad frenzy looking for Him. Jesus had risen! Maggie found Him in the living room. (Thanks for the fun idea Kristen and Noelle ;)
We took several Easter pics, but they were all not-so-good but also cute in their own right. The best one is this sugar pop pic.
Maggie and Henry both enjoyed Easter and hearing all about how Jesus rose from the dead and defeated sin and set us free. And our constant prayer for our little ones is that this Truth would become quickly and completely settled into their hearts. And we love that our kids know that the same Savior that died on the cross on Good Friday, is the same Lord that was born in a stable as a helpless baby. Which of course reminded them that playing Mary, the Donkey and Emmanuel is really fun, and that's just how we wrapped up our Easter.
