Easter 2013

 

Cousins celebrating Easter together.

 Hannah had her own personal egg "hunt" and she loved it!  She knew right away that she needed to put the eggs in her basket.

Easter was a lot of fun this year. (sorry for the picture overload)  We started our celebrations a couple of weeks early with friends, so that got us in the spirit and focused.  The kids loved the egg hunts, of course!  Even Hannah got the hang of it.  We really tried to focus on the reason why we celebrate Easter.  Throughout the last couple of weeks we read books about Easter, read the story in their bible, and did some activities to focus our hearts and minds on the resurrection of Jesus.  My favorite activity is the Resurrection Eggs.  There are 12 eggs, each has a little something to take us through His death and resurrection.  It really breaks it down for the kids and includes scriptures to go along with it.  Isaac also did them at school, so he had it down, and felt like he could lead us through them.  It was fun to see him take that leadership.  We celebrated Saturday evening with the Griffin family, but unfortunately I forgot my camera.  It was a fun night of dinner, outside play, and of course an egg hunt.  Sunday we went to church, then home for an egg hunt, and nap.  After Hannah's nap we headed to Oma and Opa's house for some fun.  It was a great Easter, another great time to remember the sacrifice He made for us and that He lives.
