Yes, we do all the typical things.
And this year, tried a few new things too.
Of course, we wear our Sunday’s Best to church, and immediately change, we changed. So sorry folks…no pics :) Just a naked baby, I mean the Easter Bunny.
And dye Easter Eggs.
My favorite…Mr. Humpty Dumpty.
And the Easter Bunny delivers hidden Easter baskets full of goodies.
Of all the many goodies, these cheap Dora pens that had stampers/bubbles were the star of the show. Thank you, Target clearance. I mean Easter Bunny!
And go on Easter Egg Hunts. With the entire family. It’s better that way!!!
Brooke was hilarious. Nothing was coming between her and her candy. I mean nothing!!!
And the winner, who spotted the Golden Egg, won a fun surprise – a remote control helicopter :)
But surely Easter is more than this. And we try to teach the true meaning…
- by doing a picture storyboard of Easter along our walls.
- teaching the kids about the atonement and resurrection of Jesus Christ using the cute resurrection eggs. Or even better, having your kids teach it.
- and baking “resurrection rolls” as we tell the Easter story.
And this year, we tried something new and planted a mini-resurrection garden. Tanner re-told the story using our our pretend Jesus, Mary, and Donkey from our Noah’s Ark set. And the best part is seeing the grass grow…and seeing these two kids hug each other.
