Once again all the OAP families banned together to keep our traditions alive in Japan. Our Easter party was a great success and a lot of fun too! The girls were very excited and so thankful that Aunt Lulu's Easter package arrived just in time. Much Love and thanks to the Smucker family for the beautiful Easter dresses and wonderful Easter goodies!
The sun was shining and it was a beautiful day for photos before we headed to the Easter party.
The Easter party started with a little singing and the telling of the Easter Story. TJ did an amazing job sharing the story in both English and Japanese. His wife, Syonga, then sang a lovely song that she wrote herself.
Time to decorate some eggs!
This was Rylee and Avery's first time to dye eggs. They did a great job and had a lot of fun!
We had nearly 30 kids attend the party. It was so neat to share our tradition with the Japanese children.

Egg Hunt!
Thanks to all the OAPs we were able to collect 6 egg dye kits and nearly 100 plastic eggs, neither are sold in Japan. We truly appreciate all who contributed and all our families back in the states that shipped these Easter items to us to help make our Easter very special!
Ko-chan was the lucky one to find the big purple egg. He was so excited!!
Sara, Alex and Avery were eager to show off their findings!
What a fun day!! We are so blessed!
