Easter Morning

We went to a sunrise service at the top of the mountain here in Cáceres.  It was beautiful... to see the sun rising over the whole city... wow.  There were very few people there, but it made it that much more special.  This sunrise service tradition was started by an American missionary (Spaniards don't really do early mornings!) and I think we Americans dominated this service... especially with having 6 in our family!! :)  hehe... but, it was beautiful and special.

The kids were so excited this year... we actually had plastic eggs to find this year!  :)  Last year, we didn't have any... they don't have them here, and I hadn't thought to bring any.  This year, we had a friend bring them for us from the States.  We didn't have a ton of eggs, but we had enough for each child to find 10 eggs.  We started our tradition of an egg hunt in the house when the kids were little, because Nathan couldn't walk for the longest time, so it was easier for him to navigate the house on his knees than to be outside in the grass... so, even today, we still do in inside out house. 

The face of victory! haha... whoever found this white egg got to open a big surprise...

This made LAUGH when I saw the picture.  This is a lovely thought... obviously, there were gummy worms inside Nathan's egg.  They must've fallen out when Nathan grabbed the egg.  Yummy thought... eating worms that came from inside a stinky shoe. haha...

I think Carolina would have eaten every single piece of candy, one right after the other, if we had let her!

New T-shirts!

Jonathan got to open the big surprise!... even though it was for all of them.  Grandmommy an Papa bought them a FUN Easter gift... a new Wii game! 

All three had been saving their money together to try to buy this game.

Carolina got her first nail polish!  We've never done her nails, b/c I have a feeling that once we start, it will be a constant request. :)

She was SOOOO excited.
