Spirit Week

 

  

Ninja, Tourist, and Pirate Day!

Easter Dinner

 

Finally, Tuesday night, I had time to cook all day for our “family” meal together.

Our new family was June, Pauline, Jessica and Jenny.  College of Nursing students we are “big sister” with.  It was our first time to get together.  We finished off the evening with Princess Bride. 

Menu was Ham, Pumpkin casserole, asparagus, pineapple, rolls, and berry pie.  It was good!

Easter Egg Hunt

I took the cruiser, loaded up our friends at their houses, got a few extra, and took them to my house for a spur of the moment Egg Hunt. 

We had wanted to do it on Sunday, but too busy.  Also, our priorities were on naps!  The girls helped me get the eggs ready.  Scott and Emma hid the eggs while I picked up the kids.

  We talked about Resurrection Eggs and what Easter means, then hunted eggs and played.    

I am glad this worked out into our weekend! Lots of fun!

Birthday Party!

Our friend was turning 5 so we got to celebrate.

It was a great day filled with games, like pass the parcel,

   “what time is is Mr Wolf?”, Hokey Cokey-(British version much better than the American), Drop the Handkerchief and an Easter Egg hunt.

Kukan Church Easter Morning

 

  

Easter Morning

 

He is Risen!

We read the Bible story where the 2 women went to Jesus's grave and were so surprised that Jesus had risen.  Then the girls got to go to the living room to see the surprise waiting them.    

Em and Liv’s dresses are from last year!  So thankful they still fit.  Al and I were able to find t-shirts and skirts at the “PNG Mall” see previous blog.  But dressing up in new clothes for Easter is not a common practice here.

Scott was speaking at our favorite bush church on Sunday.  After being delayed with electrical/power issues, we were off.  It was a great service, followed by communion. 

Cadbury eggs-deformed-homemade style

 

   

I have made these before, they turned out better…this time they were impossible! They never got firmer than the picture with the mixer.  Can you imagine dipping your hand in that and rolling it into a ball?   Ended up like fried eggs, but they were pretty yummy!
