Back to Easter….Like most things Easter is celebrated differently here. You won’t find eggs being boiled, colored or hunted…or even white for that matter. You won’t find bunnies and baskets…okay you probably could but not as a major Easter theme. No pastel colored candy, plastic eggs or kid’s adorned in new Easter attire. No Springtime (which is most of what the prior all relates to) and NO work on Good Friday or Easter Monday. Fortunately, you will find Christ Risen!
All those things are not typically found in South African households however ALL were found in the Franzen household….with the exception of white eggs.
I’m not ready to let go of familiar Easter traditions especially when someone else is footin' the bill! Every Easter thing was because of someone's graciousness and love.....

What a fun surprise for your kids to receive all of the fun Easter presents. They look so adorable....the shoes add that little extra wow!
Praise Jesus for the ultimate price that was paid!
love, love, love the shoes.
The kids look cute as bugs!
Happy anniversary...late! Was it near my birthday, the 12?
We never did the easter egg thing, but Christ was always the focus and still is of our Easter celebrating.
LOVE IT ALL!
do tori's shoes come in my size?
i'm not joking.
Great Easter gifts--all of them!
Seriously love the shoes picture. Too cute!
How long does it take you to get things when they're sent over--I imagine your mom(s) really have to plan ahead! :)
Ginger it wasn't just near, our anniversary was on your b-day. We married on March 12,1994 and Gayla cut the cake. :-)
Gayla, I am with you I'll take a pair of Tori's in my size and I wouldn't pass up one of Sky's in my size too. Now Blake's do come in adult sizes and he could not of been prouder as his Dad has a very similar pair.
Lisa, as far as time to get here...it is very random sometimes 2 weeks sometimes not at all. All the Easter goodies came back with Rich from his trip....that is the saftest way.
I love new Easter outfits!!! THe kids look adorable and I love the shoes. I want a pair too!!!
Thank God for grandma's -- and Jesus. OK, maybe Jesus should go first, but grandma's are a really close second : )
