This year Easter is spread out for us. I think we'll be celebrating 3 weekends in a row. My Grandma Spaulding was staying with us for a few days so she got to join in the festivities :) On Saturday, we did an egg hunt outside. Maryn and Cormac were all into it, but Theo could have cared less. Actually Cormac starting walking to pick up eggs...first multiple steps!! Easter morning we attended church and then made our way to Jeremy's parents house for lunch. The kids got to do another egg hunt and enjoyed spending time with Mamaw and Papaw and Great Grandma Stephenson. That evening we came home and the kids got there Easter baskets...love seeing them excited.
This year I feel like we spent more time talking about the true meaning of Easter, especially with Maryn being a little older and more inquisitive with asking questions. On Good Friday we made a resurrection garden in a large glass bowl( I can't find the pictures we took). We collected sticks, rocks leaves and used a potato for a tomb. We talked about Jesus dying on the cross and how he was placed in a tomb. The Jesus Storybook Bible is one of our favorite books and we read the resurrection story many times. We noticed that by Saturday night the garden was looking very dry and Maryn thought it looked sad. On Sunday morning I filled it with fresh flowers and when Maryn came down she was so surprised, "its beautiful and looks alive just like Jesus!" So precious to know God is working in her little heart and to know that she is listening to what we are talking about :)
