Saturday evening the kids stripped down and we dyed some Easter eggs! The kit I bought this year was below average (Ha) and only contained colored tablets! I gave the kids free reign and let them have at it.
I am not trying to take away from Jesus' resurrection whatsoever, but I do buy little goodies for the kids to celebrate this special time of our faith. They know it is from us and not the "Easter Bunny".
Someone posted this idea on social media last week and I thought it was great. Loved hearing my two big kids read these bible verses and seeing the stone rolled away and the empty tomb.
The kids loved seeing all of their little treasures on the table. And they enjoyed the do-nuts too!
It is so hard to get a good picture of all 6 of us these days! Finn was obviously preoccupied with a plastic egg he stole from Ally! Ha! So, instead of getting a picture of him, he gets his own video! Below is a clip of him while we were waiting on Daddy and the big kids to come out of class this morning.
Sweet Maebry. We were able to get a few cute pics of her on her first Easter Sunday. She is sporting the same dress Allyson wore on her first Easter...5 years ago! Finn is also wearing the same shirt that Jase wore that same year. I love reliving these memories.
My two big kids 5 years ago!!
We woke up to rain this morning and it came down pretty good, so hunting eggs outside this afternoon was out of the question. We set-up an egg hunt in the playroom upstairs, and the kids enjoyed the friendly competition.
And a little video action of the egg hunt. It was a great day!
"He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying."
