I wanted the kids to remember why we have Easter so we did our traditional Easter resurrection rolls the Sunday before Easter. I think it helps set the mood for the week as we talk about Jesus.
The rolls were tasty. Some of us wanted to keep licking the cinnamon sugar covered marshmallows. I think the kids (most of them) realized that Easter isn't about the eggs and candy.
My mom gave us some eggs to dye for Easter. Hannah liked to stick them in for two seconds and then crack them against the edge of the cup. So we kept a close eye on her.
Everyone used white crayons to write words and make designs on their eggs.
Megan pulling hers out to see if it is ready.
Look at the colorful creations. We had a contest for the whitest egg, but it's a little hard to tell from the picture. I think Will and I tied.
We made an Easter craft - marbled bunnies by actually rolling a marble through paint onto some paper bunnies.
We used them to make this poster for our friends in the ward. Don't worry, we practiced social distancing while we dropped it off. I think the bunnies turned out cute. And it was an easy craft.
We also gave them some "nests" we had made.
Easter morning was fun. Hannah was super excited to see candy all over the house.
Will is helping Adam reach some taller candies.
A family in our ward egged us. The eggs had little toys in them, so that was a nice change from all the candy.
I did a few harder to find 'dinosaur' eggs. Everyone could only find one. They were each numbered and then the kids got to pick a bigger Easter candy.`
We decided to take a few family pictures. Everyone tried to dress up spring-y.
And using the slide to take a picture. I love this family.
Anyway, we had a great Easter.
