| Lots of sweet stuff going on around here. I just LOVE this. Lily redecorated one of her little boxes. Look what I found inside... |
 |
| When I asked her about it, she said, "He's my treasure." I could hardly stand it! |
And here's a little song that she wrote yesterday called, "Hug Jesus." Talk about melting a mama's heart.
 |
| One of the things I love about my kids is that they truly are one another's best friends. I love to catch them snuggling on the couch. Caleb is such a good big brother. |
"Brother and Sister"
Brother is happy with his toy airplanes; sister is happy with her purse and her lipstick (?)
Preparing our hearts this year for Easter has been so special. Each year, I watch my kids grow in their understanding of how and why Jesus came to rescue us. Sometimes I think they "get it" more than I do and it overwhelms me.
 |
| And to add to the sweetness around here, we made Easter shortbread to share with new friends. I had to make a double batch, because I knew that my request of, "Please don't eat any. They're for tomorrow," would never fly with Phil. In order to do this, I had 6 sticks of butter out on the kitchen counter tonight. SIX! This should be illegal. |
But it's so worth it! It's
my favorite shortbread recipe, hands down. Tomorrow we'll dip them in chocolate. I promised Lily I would wait for her. :)
