Easter 2013

We had a fun and spiritual Easter this year. I think we confused Elsie though.

Elsie got up and the first thing we did was look for 12 eggs hidden in the front room. They were numbered and each had an object in them along with a scripture describing how the object symbolized something from Christ's last week on Earth and His resurrection. They are called resurrection eggs. She kept asking why did we know there where 12 and how did we know where they were? Then when they had no candy in them she asked about that too. 

After we talked about Christ's life, death and resurrection Will and Elsie went for a walk. When they were gone I did a few things to get ready for their return as well as got ready for church which was not until 11. 

When they came home Elsie magically knew there was Easter eggs hidden in the back yard. Will told her. So she ran back there and started looking for eggs and collected them all.

Then Elsie opened the plastic eggs from the back yard. Once that was done we had a treasure hunt for her Easter basket. This was fun but also confused her. The clues where typed up but she still thought I had gotten the basket for her and thanked me several times. Oh well...It was all fun. 

After church we headed to Grandma's house and had dinner and took a family photo in our church clothes for Easter. It was a fun day!
