We had a great Easter and it was the first one I did not have to work since becoming a nurse so I really enjoyed being able to spend the whole day with my family. The girls were eager to see what the Easter Bunny had brought them or I should say Payton was eager. I asked Claire if she wanted to go see what the Easter Bunny brought her and she gave her very secure "No." I think she thought he was downstairs. They had a chance to play before getting ready for church. After church we went to Nani's house for lunch and another Easter egg hunt. Then that evening we went to play with our cousins Ben and Ryan before heading home. It was a great day with family.
Payton woke up from her nap the last two days talking about Jesus. The first day she came to me and said
P- "You know what Jesus does"
me- "What does he do?"
P- "He takes away our sin"
me - "Payton, what is sin"
P- "You know the bad things we do"
me - "What else does Jesus do?"
P - "He has friends called disciples"
me- "Are they nice"
P - "Not Judas, he says bad things about Jesus"
Then that was the end of the conversation for the day.
Yesterday she woke up and came and laid on a pile of laundry I was folding and said
P- "I learned about Jesus' body"
me - "You did, can you teach me?"
P- "He was in a tomb and then a big rock rolled away and he came out"
P- "Then he saw his grown up friend Mary and told her I am Jesus and then he told the disciples too"
me- "Why was Jesus in the tomb?"
P- "The bad men put him there and they pulled his beard"
Then that was the end of that conversation. I am looking forward to her waking up today to see what else she has learned. She told me that Ms. Judy (the children's worker at my bible study on Wed am) taught her all these things. I am so thankful for our church and my bible study. Their is nothing sweeter that hearing my daughter talk about Jesus and sing about him in her room. My greatest desire for my girls is that they would love Him with all their hearts and always want to know more so they can be more like Him.

krista, so awesome that she knows so much already!!!!!!!!! I cannot wait for Ava to talk about Jesus and looks like you guys had an awesome Easter! Your girls are getting so BIG! I miss ya'll
Hey Krista! Payton's accounts of Jesus are so precious! My mom loves to tell the story about me coming home from Sunday School about that age and announcing to them that Jesus rode on a fire truck. Apparently it was Palm Sunday and we had talked about the Triumphal Entry... and read a story about fire trucks. :)
