Easter

This year we crammed all our Easter activities into two days. Saturday, we dyed our Easter eggs and made Easter Story cookies...this was a very tangible way (especially for Luke) to explain the Easter story to younger children. Easter morning we gave the kids traditional old school Easter candy (peeps, cadberry eggs, and jelly beans) in plastic eggs. We attended church and took the "annual" Easter picture. The kids even had on matching outfits...I have to admit that I enjoyed dressing them like that. We then headed to my parents for Easter brunch....yummy! We had a Easter egg hunt at their house and enjoyed some casual conversations.

I wonder where Luke got his red tongue from?

I love the cowboy hat with the princess robe

Seth reading the the Easter story, while we got our cookies out of the oven (they were hollow...like Jesus's tomb on Easter morning)

I don't know if Seth if going to appreciate me posting a picture of him in his red robe
