Happy Easter weekend! We dressed up fancy for church and joined our friends Wen, Casey and Ezra at their new church, All Saints. We didn't get any photos with Stuart before church (he went early to play music), but he was home with us to celebrate Easter! Just not documented :(
Before service, they hosted a little egg hunt for the kiddos... It had to be moved inside due to rain, but still fun! They also had donuts and biscuits from Rise.
After nap time we had planned to dye eggs, and Mema and P\paw happened to stop by on their way back from visiting family in WV, so it became a family event! James had a lot of fun, though the orange dye did get knocked over at the end... We don't have a lot of experience around here working with materials that aren't washable! We just did a few eggs, but it was fun!
Last, but certainly not least, we spent the week leading up to Easter Sunday (Holy Week) reading the stories of Jesus's last week from the Jesus Storybook Bible for the little people and from She Reads Truth for me. I feel like we did a pretty okay job this year balancing spring celebrations (egg hunts, dying eggs, planting gardens, etc) and teaching our kids the truths and hope of Jesus, and that really He holds all the seasons together anyway and the Earth coming to life during spring time is simply a foreshadowing of Him making all things new.
"He is not here... He has risen, just as He said." Matthew 28:6
