For the remainder of the book, we made flashcards with words like heaven, Jesus, cross, saved, etc. We also made a puzzle from the number three so they would remember that he rose on the third day. I was absolutely amazed at how much they learned. And they enjoyed it as well. It was our bedtime book for at least a week.
I also did an arts and crafts project, and let them color eggs. They did two apiece. We would never eat a dozen eggs!
On Saturday before Easter, we did a treasure hunt to find their Easter baskets. Easter day is so busy for us, and I didn't want to take away from it. The kids had so much fun finding the baskets and then playing with their new toys. Josue and I both agreed that we had never seen them play with toys for so long. Joshua got the Scooby characters, and Tabitha got Cinderlla to dress up.
This is my lovely family at church Easter Sunday.
Here we are outside my grandmother's house. Every Easter we go to her house to celebrate with my family. The kids really, really look forward to it.
Of course there is an Easter egg hunt. Joshua and Tabitha are by far the youngest, and every one treats them so kindly. They placed many, many eggs in one location for them, and they didn't allow the older kids to search there.
Confetti eggs were included. They told Joshua you crack it on someone you like. Papa was on his list!
My two babies!
