Christ the Lord is risen today! Hallelujah!! What an exciting time of the year as we celebrate the sacrifice of Jesus dying on the cross and rising on the 3rd day. We spent the week before Easter doing Resurrection Eggs to teach our kids the story of Easter. Isaac and Levi particularly loved opening the eggs and seeing what was inside. We learned about the cup from the Passover meal, the money used to betray Jesus, the whip and crown of thorns that beat Jesus, and ultimately the nails which were used to nail Jesus to the cross. But in the end, the last egg was empty, reminding us of the empty tomb. Praise God for his wonderful gift of eternal life for those who believe in Jesus and the message of the cross.
Dan's parents were in town for Easter so we had a fun weekend with them. They brought Easter baskets so the kids enjoyed the candy and special gifts. We dyed eggs and enjoyed eating thsoe all weekend. We got together with some friends for an egg hunt and a yummy chocolate nest treat. It was a beautiful weekend having fun and remembering what Jesus did for us.
