A few years ago, we made an agreement with the Easter Bunny that he would come to our house the day before Easter so that we could spend our Easter Sunday focusing on the true meaning of Easter. We love it! It works so well for our family and I'm glad we started that when the kids were young. (I'm not trying to make you feel bad if you celebrate with the Easter bunny on Sunday!) On Saturday morning the kids woke up and were surprised to see their Easter baskets at the top of the stairs and a trail of candy heading down. They had all forgotten about it! Here's our morning hunt with pics:
Waiting for the 'Go Ahead'!
This is what Jacob does when I tell him to smile... Goofy kid!
It's a race!
Jacob being dramatic!
After our candy hunt, we had easter shaped pancakes and then decorated our Easter eggs. I tried to get really creative and had as much fun as the kids. I was busy decorating, so I didn't get any pictures of them :( I'll just tell you they were eggs with a lot of color on them!
On Sunday we had a small lesson about Jesus, how He suffered and died for each of us and how He was Resurrected. We watched an awesome video about it too that the kids really liked!
Here's the link:
He Is Risen
Hope you had a wonderful Easter too!
You do so many great and cute things with your family. If your kids aren't grateful for it now. . . they definitely will be some day. What a great mom you are!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kristin! You're so sweet! Most of the time I don't feel like a great mom, but we do try to have fun together :)
