Easter

A year ago, we decided that Easter should be more important. So just like last year, we ended each day this month with a scripture and a mini lesson about Jesus - either learning another name for Him or something about Him from The Living Christ. We also started our countdown 12 days ago. We learned about the last days of Christ's earthly life starting with instituting the sacrament and ending with His glorious resurrection. It has been wonderful learning together as a family about the reason we celebrate this sacred holiday, and why it is that we are blessed with the gift of being together forever.
We also did some other fun things...
We also did some other fun things...
The Easter bunny has agreed to visit our house on the day before
Easter so that we can focus on Jesus better on Sunday.
Did you know that with the magic of Easter, if you plant jelly beans....
and go away for a little while (over night is best...if you remember...)
...they grow into lollipops?!
And the fun wouldn't be complete with out the annual Easter egg roll! I was out right away. Madeline cracked soon after. It was down to Dad and Caleb....
And Caleb won for a third consecutive year!
We finished our night by watching some of the new bible videos while Dad was at a choir practice, and then another few scriptures. 10 more days of Jesus focused learning before we go back to the Book of Mormon!
