We started the Easter festivities on Thursday, doing 4 of the 12 Resurrection eggs each day - ending on Saturday before we went to Easter services. The girls LOVED searching for them each day and also learning more about Jesus. Mikayla gets teary-eyed every time we do it and she even was sad at church about how much hurt Jesus went through for us. LOVE IT!!! She has so much passion for learning about Him right now. Praying she will make it through Vacation Bible School this year - she might actually fill herself up with a lot more knowledge. (she didn't make it through last year due to too many kids and too loud - this coming from the loudest child of all!)
On Saturday, we dyed some eggs. The egg scrooge only allowed 12 eggs but next year, we will dye them when the egg scrooge is not around. :-)
After getting back from dinner after Easter services.
Caitlin's Easter basket
Delilah's Easter basket (which had the game that she wanted to buy soooo bad. And Mikayla said - "The Easter Bunny got it for you - now you don't have to spend your money." HA!)
Caitlin did an awesome job for her first time. Her eggs were all on one side of the front yard.
And the girls were on the other side... Delilah finding some near the rose bushes
Mikayla found some behind the mailbox
All done and ready to go check out their goodies...
Yummy....jelly beans and chocolate
Yeah - her hair is looking kind of wild. It was one of those Easters - no where to go - just enjoying family and daddy's yummy cooking. And of course, enjoying chocolate easter bunnies!
Hee hee - I bit the ear off.
Who me?? I didn't take a bite.
Hope every had a beautiful Easter with family and friends. Thank you God for sending your Son to die on the cross for us so that we can live forever in your arms. He is risen!
