This year for Easter I made a countdown that went along with our churches new Come Follow Me program. Each day leading up to Easter had a set of scriptures to read corresponding to the events of Christ's Life. Along with the scriptures it had a focus for the day for the kids. On the back of the cards was reflection questions, challenges and things to ponder for Nate and I. Next to each card was a coloring picture to go along with the scriptures for the boys to color while we read. We then alternated whose picture showed on the line.
Over the Easter season we did a handful of community egg hunts with the kids about 1 per weekend. They had a lot of fun events paired with them like a petting farm, chalk drawing, food, prizes and yard games. The kids loved being able to play with others and enjoyed all the fun and brought home some fun remote control cars
Easter Morning was simple for us. Each of the boys found their baskets in their chairs and loved the coloring packs, bubbles, and treats in them. A is a chocolate snob for those who don't know. He likes the name brand stuff and wrinkles his nose as he eats the off brand cheaper stuff. after opening his basket he was more interested in finding the chocolate in his basket.
We don't post many pictures of ourselves but here we are in the car heading to Easter Dinner at my grandparent's house after church. It was really hot and sunny after a few weeks of cold, rain and snow. We had to put a blanket over the tote of Easter eggs to keep the sun from melting them in the back of the truck.
