At dinner Katherine and I were talking about what Good Friday means. Explaining to a 5 year old crucifixion, rising from the dead, tombs, shrouds and persecution was a wee bit tough but we managed through. I'll admit to totally throwing in the towel when it came to tying the Easter Bunny and Easter baskets to His dying. Thanks to Siri we pulled something out but it was sketchy at best there folks. Really sketchy. She still thinks I'm 19 (about to turn 20) and pretty much believes most of what I say unless she thinks Daddy knows better. Given we were both feeding off of one another's web of craziness she didn't question it. (What did throw me is that kids at school are already telling her the Easter Bunny isn't real. WTC? Seriously people. She's 5. Back off!!!)
We decided that we would watch the Vespers services tonight that our Cathedral streams online. It allowed us to explain some things to her as we went through the service.
The highlight of my night was after we watched the service we went upstairs and re-read the scriptures from the Reading tonight from her children's bible. Stephen and I took turns reading it to her and she was very much interested in learning all about it. A special family moment!!
Here are today's photos!

| Apparently she "did clean off her face!!!!" *said with exasperation* That would be black paint around her eye. |

| We came home from dinner and she immediately went upstairs to get "dressed for church". Nothing's halfway with this girl when it comes to style! (complete with flower in her hair) |

| Okay... so maybe there is half way. #blacksocks |
