We hid Easter eggs on the balcony at Grama's house.

Benjamin had fun, but his egg hunt quickly turned into an egg toss!

I found one!

Ada was delighted!

Thanks Grama and Papak for a fun Easter!

Easter Eggs

We are really enjoying celebrating Easter with Grama & Papak!

Today we put on some of Papak's old running shirts

(to protect our clothes) and colored Easter eggs!

Here are a few pictures:

Benjamin promptly cracked his egg and began to peel it.

Then he proceeded to eat it all up!

Grama had also made special little Easter baskets for us!

We got Turkish sweets, stickers, paper dolls, and kids card games.

Yum! It was all wonderful!

Thank you Grama & Papak!

Happy Easter everyone!

Christ is Risen!

Easter Celebration

Before going on our big trip, we celebrated Palm Sunday at Grammie's house. We did resurrection eggs, made an Easter scene, baked hot cross buns, and enjoyed a delicious meal together. Here are a few pictures of our festivities below. Happy Easter & He is Risen!

Trip to Grama's

On Monday we embarked on a long journey that took us to the other side of the world. We'll spend one week at Grama's before heading to our new home. Thank you all for praying for us! Our flights went well and our kids were really amazing during the trip. Here are a few pictures of our adventure

Hangin' out at the airport ...

Two well seasoned little travelers...

Enjoying some in-flight entertainment ...

It was a long trip on three different airplanes ...

... It was worth it! (Ada enjoys a tea party with Grama).
