Easter!!!

We had a wonderful Easter, the sunrise was gorgeous, the weather was beautiful, just an awesome day to celebrate what our Savior has done for us!  We are so thankful the He is ALIVE and that He died and rose again to save us from all of our many sins!  What a gift!  We are also grateful that we can worship here in China with like believers and not be persecuted!  How amazing He is that He has given us so many wonderful friends and family and that He has been with us during each step of this journey that we are on!
We got the girls ready and decided to go down and get some Easter pictures of the girls!

                                                        Oh, she caught me!




                                Love Cambry's look on this, so excited, her normal face!

We went to church, very nice service and then we went home and ate!  We were going to go to their big celebration that would have had an Easter egg hunt, balloon clowns, skits and dramas about the meaning of Easter, rock climbing wall, tumble houses, and more, but we were too warn out from yesterday at the zoo and we still had to leave for a potluck with some families at 4pm.  So, we took short naps and then went over to the other peoples complex!  We had a great time once again meeting six different families!  Many of them seem to be spiritual leaders and that they are here to train in leadership.  I would consider them missionaries and they are training others in leadership. That is about all of the information they would give us, I think because it is an "underground" ministry.  Very friendly and welcoming!  Reese had a fabulous time!  We brought ham and Erin and Andrea's Southwest Layered salad, (everyone loved it) so it still tasted like Easter back home!  After eating the kids just played while the adults all talked!  We were given tons of information about Shanghai and were told to call them with any questions that we might have!

                                 Here is Reese putting on a "show" with the rest of the kids!

 Many of the kids were her age, so it was a lot of fun for her!  There seems to be a large number of girls here that are four, I mean at our complex, school, church, friends we meet!  It is a God thing for sure!

Once we got home the girls were tired but Reese said that she wanted to feed Cambry!  This is what happened!


Reese fed Cambry her bottle and she fell right to sleep, doesn't really look like Reese was even paying attention because "Rio" was on the tv!  Cambry just ADORES her big sister!  Lights up every time she sees her or is near her!

Hope you all enjoyed spending time with your families this Easter day!
