Easter

*For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.  1 Corinthians 1:18

This year we were able to celebrate Easter in Pocahontas with my side of the family, AND it was Norah Kate's first road trip!!!  She did amazing - slept well and didn't cry in the car at all!  I really want us to be able to teach Norah Kate why we celebrate Easter.  I tried to tell her all about Jesus dying on the cross for our sins during one of our nursing sessions...but I'm not sure she understands yet.  :)  Seriously though, we do want to begin telling her now about Jesus and his life/death and hope that she will come to understand it - and how it affects her - as soon as possible.

Of course we had to take some pictures since we were dressed up for church.  Here is our little family!

All 4 of us...Chula kept trying to lick Norah Kate's head!

And then came the presents...  

It is funny how the attention shifts to the baby for all the presents.  :)  I really don't mind though...and really welcome the lack of attention to some extent.  

Here is the cute hat that Aunt Lauren bought for NKC.
Poor kid - I guess that will teach her not to fall asleep at family functions...so cute though!
"Look at my new house slippers that Great GM Mama Joyce bought!"  or should we say a.k.a. one of the Easter Bunnies!  I wore them on the trip home too.
I think this picture is so cute...we had a great time in Pocahontas and did not want to leave.  Can't wait until the next trip!
