Easter Sunday

On Sunday at church, we did The 12 Easter Egg Presentation to help the kids remember the true meaning of Easter. I really like this activity because the kids get to find the eggs and then the item in the egg represents something that happened during Christ' life. I think its a good way to teach the children about the Atonement and Resurrection.

As with all holidays, it is hard to get the kids to focus on the true meaning of the holiday. But we try year after year, so hopefully it will start to sink in. After church, we drove up to Wellsville to have a Easter lunch at grandma and grandpa's house.Grandma cooked turkey and ham. Every year, someone brings deviled eggs and they are gone before lunch starts. This year, three of us brought the eggs, so there was plenty for everyone. The weather was very nice on Easter Sunday, so some of us went out and layed on the blankets in the front yard. After lunch, we had a small Easter egg hunt for the younger kids. Clayton, Addey and Cooper had a great time hunting for the eggs. Jaden and Ty helped Clayton find some of the eggs. Steph and Addey gave Cooper and Clayton some little stuffed animals...frog and chick and the boys thought those were awesome!
