When the kids woke up Easter morning they realized that the Easter Bunny left a trail of easter eggs all through the house.....
down the stairs......
and in the most peculiar places....
eventually leading to thier easter baskets!!!
Jordyn especially loved the plastic egg shells.
After church we went to Tom and Hayley's house for lunch and then had an awesome easter egg hunt!!! The kids were in heaven.
Alyia's first egg.
Teni not missing an inch.
Troy and I tried so hard to get a great shot of all the kids together in their Easter outfits but it just didn't turn out. Jordyn wouldn't stop crying unless I was holding her and Alyia and Teni could not sit still longer than 5 seconds. These pictures are the best we could do!
We had such a hard time getting Alyia to look right into the camera but I thought this picture turned out so cute! It captured her personality at its best.
The meaning of Easter:
I made "special" eggs for our easter egg hunt. After our kids gathered all the eggs in the house I asked them to give me the "special" eggs that had numbers on the shells. They didn't contain yummy chocolates or sour candy but instead they had something that symbolized our Savior Jesus Christ's resurrection. We opened each of them and discussed the real meaning of Easter. My friend gave me this idea and I loved it!
1. Leaves: Represents the garden of Gethsemane where Jesus suffered for our sins2. Coin: Represents the price of Judas’ betrayal
3. A miniature crown of thorns – Represents Jesus’ trial, mockery, and punishment at the hands of the Jews and Romans.
4. A nail – Represents His crucifixion
5. White cloth – Represents His burial in the tomb
6. A small, round, flat stone – Represents the stone that covered the borrowed tomb
8. An empty plastic egg – Represents the empty tomb symbolizing Jesus’s resurrection
9. Flowers – Represents the resurrected Christ’s appearance to Mary in the Garden near the tomb
