A party in heaven for Sydney!

Happy belated Easter from our family! In typical Colorado fashion, it was about 70 degrees the day before Easter, and we awoke on Easter morning to snow on the ground (and in the air!) A good reminder of Him washing us "white as snow."
This past Saturday, May 16th, was a most important day for Miss Sydney. On our way to Katie's soccer tournament, running late no less, Syd announces that, "today I think I'd like to ask Jesus into my heart." Super!!!!!!!!!!! So we prayed at the Gates Soccer Complex, that Jesus would love Sydney forever, forgive her sins, never leave her, and give her eternal life. The angels were having a party for her in heaven! We celebrated with our very own "come to Jesus" cake, fresh from the Target bakery, lovingly picked out by big sister Katie.
Back to Easter. Lance was gone the week leading up to Easter, so one our super-fun afternoon activities was to dye and paint our very own Easter eggs! Everyone got in on the fun, even little man!
The final products. Remember the days when the only option was to buy the PAAS dye kits? They have so many COOL options for kids these days. We had marbled eggs & glitter eggs, and all of them got custom paint jobs.
