We had a wonderful time preparing for and celebrating Easter this year. We did our Resurrection Eggs each day leading up to Easter. Hogan and Lauralee, especially Hogan, really seemed to get it this year and they both say they have accepted Jesus into their hearts as their Lord and Saviour. Lauralee says the longest, sweetest prayers at night and they both sing songs about God, usually self composed, spontaneously throughout the day. We made Easter Story cookies. We decorated Easter eggs...
We had lots of Easter egg hunts in the front yard. We made Easter crafts...
We went to an Easter Party and egg hunt...
On Easter we had a special breakfast, went to Church, came home and made Resurrection Rolls, took the kids to the river to watch baptisms, and then went over to MayMay and PopPop's to spend the rest of the day with people we love!
As soon as MK gets to MayMay and PopPop's house she goes into the kitchen and gets herself out a cup and a box of Cheeze-Its and brings them to MayMay to put Cheeze-Its into the cup for her. And if she spies PopPop in the kitchen she runs over and points to the cookie jar so he will give her an Oreo. She's got it figured out.
The"big" kids were playing a very elaborate game with the bunny rabbits MayMay and PopPop gave them for Easter. They are so funny together, play the most creative games, and have so much fun. They are so blessed to have cousins close to their age!
