Easter Sunday

This year we tried to focus more on Christ during Easter (you know to emphasize that above all the fun pre-k activities involving bunnies and easter eggs).  

The goal was to read the scriptures/act out what it was Christ did on each day that last week of his life.  I had a simple plan and very good intentions.  We started out pretty good, but kind of missed a few days.  We didn't do a great job, but I'm still amazed at what kids can pick up.  I feel like our kids have suddenly reached an age where they are old enough to understand so much more than ever before....they're actually people.

Sunday morning we watched an awesome video,  He Is Risen.  It did a good job portraying the events up to the resurrection to re-cap what we supposedly discussed with the kiddos.  

After breakfast they got their Easter outfits along with a little toy (gotta love the $1 bins!!).  They were pretty excited.  I've been working on their Easter dresses for several weeks (I'm a little on the slow side) and they've tried them on lots of times.  But today they actually got to wear them - so they were pretty happy about that.  So happy we were dressed and ready for the day with almost 3 hours before 'church' started.

Unfortunately it started raining right as we went out to take some pictures.  TJ didn't have shoes on so he didn't make it into any.  Whoops!
