Wishing You a Happy Stay-at-Home Easter! :D

Happy Easter to all you special peeps! Even though we're all stuck at home, I hope that you and yours have found your own way to celebrate the Lord's resurrection on this special day.

A mother and four daughters smile at the camera on Easter morning. Each of the girls is wearing a matching prairie-style dress and cardigan. The two youngest girls are holding Easter baskets. The youngest girl is Bonje at two years old. She has adorable chubby pink cheeks and strawberry blonde curls. .
I am choosing not to write a whole blog post this week. Instead, I'm gonna spend some extra time with the people I love (at least, the ones who live with me).

But in order to quell any disappointment on your part, I have a peace offering: an endearing (if somewhat old-fashioned) Easter Sunday photo from years past.

Every year, my family used to spend Easter at my adopted grandmother's house. After eating LOADS of food and chocolate Easter candy, I always loved traipsing outdoors to hunt for eggs. But this particular year was extra special, because my mom and older sisters made matching dresses for us to wear!

Can you guess which girl am I in the picture? The tiny and absolutely adorable two-year-old, of course!!! Who could EVER resist those chubby widdle cheeks? More candy, please!

Stay strong this week and know that I'm praying for you. I care about you, and our risen Lord cares about you too.

Happy Resurrection Day!

P.S. What's your favorite Easter memory? Anybody wanna share their ideas for how to make a stay-at-home holiday a little more special? And how do you still make holidays special for your family when your energy is low?
