We had a great weekend! From coloring Easter eggs to having an Easter egg hunt...
Easter Bunny Brought Authentic German Candy for the children!
The highlight candy was certainly the Kinder Überraschung, then the chocolate phones and of course the chocolate Easter bunny!
We had a nice breakfast after the kids loaded up on sugar, got dressed in our "Sunday Best". We found a nice little local church to visit. There are 3 or 4 that we will visit in the coming weeks before we decide on a "home" church. On a side note, I had the pleasure of watching the Maundy Thursday service at our Church back home in Cumming. They did a fabulous job at their reenactment of The Last Supper.
Anyhow, we attended Lighthouse Baptist Church in Heidelberg. The kids got to attend childrens' church, they had 2 age groups, 2-4 for Sarah and Grace and 5-12 for Emma and Evan. The kids truly enjoyed their time at this church. We also enjoyed the sermon! He has Risen! The sermon was very much biblical base with lots of scripture; he preached from the King James Version - this was new to me, but I enjoyed it none-the-less!
After service we were invited to their pot-luck dinner! We tried to decline since we had nothing to contribute, but they would have none of that! We enjoyed their fellowship and their food! It was very nice! A special thanks to Lighthouse Baptist for making us feel welcomed!
After service we came home and just enjoyed a quiet afternoon, Sarah and Grace had a good long nap- Emma and Evan went out to romp on the playground, Don went to the store for me while I prepared Easter Dinner...Ham, Au grauten potatoes, baked beans, broccoli, deviled egg and rolls... for dessert, well, I didn't really get to that! I promised Don a coconut pie -so he will get that tonight! LOL
After dinner clean up we went to the park to play w/ kids and then Easter Egg hunt then off to bed after we filled them up on sugar again! hehehehe...
