Happy Easter Everyone! This year we did the 12 days of Easter. Each night we would open an Easter egg and find a little object that symbolized one part of the Easter story and then read a related scripture. It really helped us as a family to remember all the events that surround the most important holiday to mankind. On the Thursday before Easter Sunday, we continued our tradition of having a Passover dinner. Morgan always does a great job of leading the discussion of why the Jews would have eaten the different foods and how they represented the Savior.
We also had some fun, non-religious events too. One night for FHE we had an egg hunt in our basement. Here are the troops before they were unleashed:
Miriam and her basket of eggs.
Miriam and Eve off to find more eggs. We had to give each child a limit of eggs to find. It is a necessity in our home to have the same amount amongst all the kids.
Here are my 3 beautiful daughters all dressed for Easter Sunday. Grandma Shelley found all 3 dresses! Don't they look like dolls?
Now add our handsome son to the picture and you couldn't ask for anything more! He looks so dashing in his suit!
After Church we let the kids find their Easter baskets filled with treats and small toys. Jane was the first to find hers...right on Dad's lap!
We had a nice Easter dinner with a bunny cake for dessert.
Happy Easter!
