We have also tried a few new things this Easter. The big kids and I made paper Mache Easter Eggs. A lot of fun, but what a mess. EJ wondered why we had to put the newspaper in snot to put on the balloon. But, he dug in and had fun, and even blamed me when the goo was in his armpit! (How did I do that haha silly kid) For obvious reasons we don't have pics of the goo phase. Then they loved painting there egg.
Here is the finished project. They turned out so cute!
We also started off April with an Easter Countdown. I put together a basket of 12 eggs with an object and scripture inside. Each night we open the egg and see the object and read the scripture to count down to Easter. Each scripture has to do with The resurrection. It has been a fun great way to teach the kids a little more about Easter. Not just bunnnies, eggs, and candy lol.
We have loved these new Easter traditions, and hope to keep them every year. Hope you are having a great Easter season as well.

Hey Emily,
I'm sorry to leave this comment on your blog, but I don't have any phone numbers for anyone.
How do we get our girls into the prestigious Lamb Swimming Academy?
Have we missed registration yet?
wow, you know how to do Easter. I love the idea of the scriptures in eggs. I might just steal that idea for next year. Do you have a list of the scriptures you used? The kids did a nice job on their paper mache eggs. You are such a brave mom to do that in your house. I saw Jared's comment and would also like to get my 2 older boys in swimming lessons. How do we sign up?
Did you get my email Emily?
