Palm Sunday Project

I promised Kathryn I would share our "Palm Sunday Project" pictures with our friends. So here you have them. We've been busy this week decorating praise shakers, palm branches, a donkey, and today for a grand finale--a path to welcome Jesus as he rode. So today when Jim (our resident Jesus) came home from work, the long-awaited play unfolded. It only lasted about 5 minutes (and about 3 of those were spent serving Jesus soup, as Kathryn insisted this was the only proper way to welcome Jesus to Jerusalem.) But we had fun and made memories. These kinds of activities together are a stabilizing force for the girls on the brink of major transition.















Here are the girls diligently decorating Jesus' path this morning.





















Is that a great looking Jesus, or what?




















Don't you love these genuine costumes?




















The action in this shot is captured by the hair!





















Here is the full cast




















And we can't forget Kathryn's special homemade soup!
