Happy Easter

We have been getting ready for our big Easter Celebration this weekend by reading our Easter Story book that Lydia gave to Colden last year. The cross is a pretty tough thing to teach kids about, but he knows that Jesus isn't on it anymore because He is risen! We've had some fun making crafts (aka: gifts for the grandparents) and coloring bible pictures as well.

Last Sunday, we were just finally getting over ear infections (Blakely), 4 consecutive days of fever (Colden) as well as nasty colds, so when we were invited to the neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt, that sounded like good place to spend a sunny Sunday morning! As we walked to our neighborhood park...

Colden: "Mom, are the eggs for Easter?"
Me: "Yes, eggs and the bunny are just a silly thing that kids like to do for Easter"
Colden: "Are we going to celebrate Jesus?"
Me: "Yes we are, not really at the Easter Egg Hunt, but the real reason for Easter is that Jesus is alive--right?"
Colden: "that's right mom, he's not dead. Can we sing the song?"
So precious!
