Our Easter in Pictures

An Easter Egg FHE

Preschool egg hunt
We got free tickets *shout out to Rebecca--THANKS for the fun morning event!* to the city's Easter Egg Hunt, which included a pony ride and a carnival game! What a treat for the kids. Allison had actually brought her stuffed animal horse with her and they belted it in with her to ride the pony. (She's in the background of this picture.)


3 kids anxiously awaiting the hunt.

Game faces on...

And...score! Look at all those eggs!! Yet, in reality, the eggs were empty. They turned them all in at the end and everyone got a coloring book. A little disappointing for the kids, but everyone won, I guess.

Our backyard egg hunt.

Shake-a shake-a eggs. Gideon's 1st "fun" Easter! Yeah for yummy candy!

Enough secular stuff?? We had a great holiday, complete with a ham dinner with friends. One thing that really stuck out to me this week was during FHE when we pulled out our pictures of Christ and the events surrounding his death and resurrection. The kids actually remembered many details and we were able to go into more depth about the Garden of Gethsemane and that Christ suffered for each one of us. What a blessing to discuss the Resurrection and know that Christ lives!

Looks like a fun filled week! Really? The eggs were empty? It's a good idea, I guess, but a few jelly beans wouldn't hurt, right? At least they got a fun pony ride. How cute that Allison strapped in her little pony.
