I KNOW that my Redeemer lives
What COMFORT this sweet sentence gives
HE LIVES, He lives, who once was dead...
This is why we celebrate EASTER.
Our Savior died and lives again because of power and grace of the Resurrection.
Resurrection is a gift from GOD to all men.
When Mike and I first started having kids, he didn't want to do the Easter Bunny thing,
but I convinced him the kids shouldn't miss out on the fun that can bring.
(As long as we don't let it get out of control).
A few years ago I thought maybe we could ask "The Bunny" to visit us on a different day rather than Sunday. So he does. That way we can keep our focus on the Savior during Sunday.
Here's our Easter Celebration:
The Easter Baskets:Mo got a little piano, and the cutest tu-tu bathing suit.
Bekah got Where The Red Fern Grows and a Veggie Tales movie.
Aaron got Toy Story/Hot Wheel cars (what else?) and books about bugs.
Emma got a Justin Bieber CD and a mood ring.
And of course there was enough candy and Easter grass to go around.
Truly one of the most colorful Holidays around!Dying Eggs.
(Mike got this idea from a friend in our ward.)Did you know if you plant a jelly bean during Easter,
it will grow into a sucker by the next morning?
Try it next year.
