As the kids get older, I try to really put an emphasis on the Christ portion of Easter, rather than the secular. I found a great book that talks about the week leading up to Christ's crucifixion and resurrection and suggests activities and scriptures to read each day. It was very valuable and informative. We also got rid of the "Easter Bunny" once and for all. Halelujah. I have always thought the Easter Bunny was a little silly (and creepy). So we told the kids that he may still come to other kids (because I don't want them ruining the magic for other kids). But, in our household Mom and Dad would just bring a few trinkets for Easter celebration. We also do the gift giving on Saturday morning so that we can focus on Christ on Easter Sunday.
Dying Easter Eggs.
Our Easter celebration with the Adams Family over at Linda's house. She had cute little baskets for the kids and then hid eggs for them to find. They had a wonderful time!!
These two little guys are such good friends and absolutely DARLING together!!
Emma was thrilled because she found an egg with money inside!!
What a cute group of kiddos!
Easter morning was actually stake conference for us. So it was a little different, but our meeting was outstanding!!
This was the best pic I got of the kids all dolled up. That's what you get for having morning church and trying to do a big breakfast! :)
Emma and her violin Barbie and a whole lot of kids makeup smothered on! :)
This princess is most definitely a GIRL.
