Easter Prep!

On Thursday evening we did some Easter preparations. Alexander loved coloring eggs with his Oma.

But my favorite part was when Mom pulled out our old Ressurection-tivity scene. When we were little my Mom got a paper-doll Ressurection scene which she colored and laminated. Each year, we would put it up. There was something so powerful about getting to move the paper figures around and re-enact the account! I had mentioned this fascination before, but Easter has an even more powerful effect on me. I loved inviting the neighborhood kids over and walking them thru the gospel using our "tivity" set! I also remember putting together all kinds of "programs" each year to try and communicate to my family and really to God, how grateful I was for what Christ did. Looking back, they seem pretty cheesy now, but at the time, I put everything I had into them.

Easter has always been my favorite holiday because it celebrates the hope I have. I can't wait to see what Easter traditions develop for my little brood in the upcoming years!

Here's Oma giving an account!

Hurray! Jesus is Alive!
