Easter

We had a wonderful Easter hope you did too.

This year we tried something different.  We started the week before Easter and would read and talk about what Christ did on that day.  It led to some great discussions and really helped us prepare and focus on why we celebrate Easter.  Hopefully some of that stuck and they will remember how important the Resurrection is.

Sunday morning they found their baskets which were hidden not so well.  Ha, ha, funny story.  So I put their baskets together Saturday night in my room.  I was very tired and had quite a long day so I lay down in bed and was going to have Sam hide them--he's much more creative with that kind of stuff.  Well I forgot to tell him and I woke up abruptly at 6:30am realizing they hadn't been hidden and any minute Luke was going to wander in and see them.  So I jumped out of bed and hid baskets.  Silly me!

All the kids got some new Easter clothes so I decide to have a photo shoot.  The girls did great and as you can see, the boys were not so impressed!

Such cute kids!!
