Easter

Today was so special. We woke up with the "Easter Bunny" ringing the doorbell. Haven went to go see who it was and was delighted to find her Easter basket, however, was really annoyed that the Easter Bunny didn't say "hi"... we told her he had to go deliver more baskets to other kids. Busy bunny.

We then went to church and enjoyed a great service. I was reminded that the women who first saw Jesus after his resurrection didn't see him first before the apostles because they were specially chosen by God for a deeper, more meaningful reason. Nope. They saw Him first because they were at his tomb first! Simple as that. Reminded me to be a woman like that who is always chasing after Christ... wanting to be close!

We headed to my in-laws for Easter lunch with friends and family. Yum... turkey, mashed potatoes and all the great other sides.

Then, I came home and cleaned house. It was a mess. But, we are finally unpacked now!

Wonderful Easter...

Oahu & Maui - PARADISE

We enjoyed 10 days in Hawaii. Two days in Oahu with our friends, the Kawaguchis. Then the rest of the time on the beautiful island of Maui with my parents. This is where we LOVE to vacation. Here is why: shave ice, laying out in the sun, warm nights (don't even need a cardigan), spear fishing, great seafood (yes, Haven is eating caviar in one pic!), snorkeling, our condo at the Westin Villas with the heavenly beds, the pirate ship at the resort, fun activities (we tried zip-lining this year!), tropical flowers and trees, shopping in Lahaina, the aloha spirit, wearing our summer clothes three months early, virgin daiquiris (for me), Mai Tais (for Nate), coming back with a tan... paradise.
