We had a fantastic Easter this year. All week we learned more about Christ and the last week of his life, all on a child's level mind you. By the end of the week, I was surprised at how much actually sunk in. Miles can tell you all about the resurrection without any help, and Gwen points to her hands, feet, side and head and says, "Owie!" When we say, "But then he was alive again and all his ouchies were gone!" She shouts "Hooray!!!"
We did make time for some "traditional" Easter fun, don't worry. Makenna and the kids came over to celebrate spring with us. We made bird feeders, played outside, played with spring time play doh and spring time cookie cutters, hunted for glow sticks and had bunny rolls with lunch. :)
On Saturday we dyed eggs and the kids thought that was pretty cool. I think Gwen's outfit in this picture is pretty cool. :)
On Sunday, they got Easter baskets when they woke up and after they got all dolled up in their Easter outfits, they hunted for eggs in our backyard. They even got to find eggs at Grandma and Grandpa's house after dinner. 2 lucky ducks I tell ya.

So fun! So cute! Thanks for this post.
I almost missed this post since I was so preoccupied with the mission one above it :)
Taysom told me about how much Miles knew about the resurrection - so cool! Miles and Gwen are lucky ducks to have you and Richie as their earthly mom and dad!
