We planned some fun things for our Easter countdown this year. We didn't get to some things and I didn't take pictures of most of our activities, but I did get a few. I need to get back on the ball with our little traditions. Here's a quick look at a few of our fun activities.
We made Bunny Ears
We colored Easter eggs to decorate our windows
We made some Bunny Faces out of marshmallows. This was my favorite cause Gwen has "talked" to these bunnies since we made them. She kneels in front of the fridge where they are hanging and will have her own little conversation with them.
We decorated sugar cookies
We dyed Easter eggs
They all got some pretty cool colors!
We went to the BYU Easter egg hunt. Each of them only got a couple of eggs, but we had a fun morning and we loved being down on the football field!
Saturday evening, the kids planted their jelly beans in the front yard. They were hoping for some Easter magic!
For the last 2 weeks we have also been focusing on the life of the Savior and talking about all the wonderful things he did and the important events during the last week of his life. It has been special for me to teach the kids more about their Savior and share my testimony so often with them. Saturday night before they went to bed, we watched "The Lamb of God". Adam and Tessa watched most of it with their hands over their eyes. After family prayer, Adam told us he felt so happy inside. I was so grateful to be able to help him identify the Holy Ghost and have my kids really grasp how wonderful and special Easter is for all of us.
