Happy Ressurection Day!

I want to make sure that James and Lilah have the same American traditions that Rick and I had when we were children. So of course, I threw together an Easter egg hunt for the kids that live in our building. When luggage space was available, I brought down plastic eggs (can't buy them here) and my neighbor Debora and I made these baskets for the children. I filled the eggs with candy, homemade play dough, coins, and little toys. They were SO excited. Wouldn't you be too?!

I love this photo Rick captured of James running to meet his friends that just arrived.

We took the children to the Parque Cidade (city park) for a picnic and egg hunt. There were 5 families that participated.

Anyone who has two or more children know how impossible it is to take a photo with both kids looking and smiling at the same second. There were 4 of us waving chocolate candies and Lilah's binky behind the camera to get their attention!

James had so much fun. I love this sweet photo.

Here James and Lilah wait for their chocolate Easter eggs. The Brazilian tradition is to receive a chocolate egg which, depending on the size, has a little toy or candy inside.


Yay, we got our chocolate eggs!

James wasted no time digging into his egg.

"How do I eat this thing Mommy?"

I love this little face.
