What a beautiful day! Every year I am amazed again at the Easter story -- the ups and downs of Holy Week, the last supper, the betrayal, the crucifixion, the resurrection! I'm not sure there is any more dramatic story anywhere! And all for us? I am amazed!
This was, of course, Delaney's first Easter! By the end of the weekend, this is how things were going . . .
She could care less about Easter egg hunts, Easter baskets, chocolate bunnies, and jelly beans. Isn't that how it should be for all of us? All weekend, I tried my hardest to incorporate the Easter story into things the older kids were doing (we go on hunts to find a surprise, like when the tomb was empty, etc.) My hope is that our children will grow up to be "Easter People" all year round!
Of course, we did have fun with hunts, dinners, and chocolate. Here are some pictures!
Have you ever dyed brown eggs? The colors are actually very nice -- jewel-like tones! Caiden and Cambry had fun doing this. Now what to do with all those eggs??
On the hunt with the McCabe cousins. Looks like they're figuring out the next clue that Grandma gave them.
We hosted my mom's side of the family over here for Easter. These are all the kids with their baskets! (minus Delaney - she was sleeping).
Delaney got some mini zwieback from us - she LOVES bread (and it looks like she enjoys the bag, too)!
