A couple years ago, Ellie and Marko collaboratively wrote a Christmas song that begins, “Hallelujah! Yay! Christ is Born!” And today, I find myself singing, “Hallelujah! Yay! Christ is Risen!” It might not be your traditional majestic Easter hymn but it gets the message across, don’t you think?

Happy Easter, friends and family! We love you!

And yes, I did make us matchy-matchy clothes this year because, who wouldn’t want to have matching skirts and matching bow ties? Age appropriately, Nik’s bow tie really ties and Marko’s is Velcro. Marko is super into wearing bow ties right now. He’s thrilled to have two. I’m thrilled that they’re so easy to sew. I’ve been using this great tutorial for Marko’s and I used this tutorial for Nik’s.
