Good Friday and Easter

This year was the first year the kids and I were not in America and not in church.  So I decided to bring the church to them, we did two lessons one on good friday and one on Easter (actually the following Sunday Andrew got really sick on Easter).  It has turned out to be a really wonderful thing and we will do Sunday service every week.  One Sunday we went to Dani and Valtinho's house were several families came and we had a pasta dinner.  It was a lot of fun, I made lots of desserts.  Enjoy the pics...

Easter Sunday lesson

Cooper's 4th Birthday

This is the first year that we will not be in America for Cooper's birthday and so we brought America to Brazil.  We did an Easter egg hunt and dyed eggs.  They don't do either one of these things here so it was new and exciting for them.  We did it at the same spot we have done his party for the last 3 years now.  Anyway here are pictures from Cooper's 4th Ben 10 birthday.

Overall a really fun and cool party.  All the kids really enjoyed the dying eggs and hunt.  They had never done any of those things before so it was really neat to show them American Easter.
