What a fun Easter we had this year! The Easter Bunny left the kids some little gifts on Saturday morning. There was an Easter egg hunt in the house. The kids loved it.
Sunday morning was great. The best way to celebrate Easter is by going to church! After church we had the missionaries over for dinner. We did our traditional devotional where there are 12 Easter eggs and each one is filled with a scripture and corresponding trinket representing Christ's last moments of mortality.
We love having the missionaries in our home. They bring such a great Spirit with them. They have made my kids more excited to go on missions themselves someday.
Finally, we ended our evening with Peter and Julianna, Tatiana and Grandma. It was so fun! They always spoil the kids. We were fortunate to be able to learn some Russian Easter traditions. They had Russian desserts and taught us a game to play after decorating the eggs. You take your egg and crack it against someone else's egg. It's like WAR for boiled, decorated eggs. One usually cracks and the other one doesn't. The person with the strongest egg is the winner.
It was so funny.
I love Mark Mabry's Reflection of Christ. I heard Mabry speak at a Time Out For Women. He was inspiring, funny and motivating. I'd love to own his prints someday...beautifully framed.
Now a shout out to homeschooling~I love that we have the freedom to learn when and how we want. We always take the week before Easter to study the events surrounding Christ's Atonement. Over the years we've learned about the Passover, ancient traditions and made traditional Easter food. It all comes together to make for a fun, special
time of year.
I believe that Jesus is the Christ. He is my Savior.
Happy Easter
