Happy Easter! He is Risen!
Easter is almost as commercialized as Christmas, but we feel it is important that our children know about the sad days before Easter and how Jesus had to suffer for our sins. That is why we do a Resurrection Egg Hunt each year. The eggs contain items that illustrate the week before Jesus rose from the tomb. They are really a good way to teach children. This past Wednesday we had 3 friends over to do the hunt with us. The kids just love it each year! I taught in the church nursery this morning and used them as my lesson. Below is a picture of the boys with their friends after the hunt and before the story.
This Easter we kept the kids out of church. Camden’s allergies were awful the later part of the week and he began wheezing on Saturday. We didn’t want to risk him catching any nasty bugs. We had an egg hunt when Mark got home from church. The candy in the eggs even melted. I am sure that wouldn’t happen in Kenosha, with the foot of snow they just got!
Mark’s parents came over later and we enjoyed a nice dinner, another egg hunt, playing with Grandpa’s N-Scale electric train, and making homemade ice cream. The boys went to bed early to get ready to return to our normal schedule next week.
Here are the boys on Easter.

They look SOO adorable.
I think all egg hunts were in doors in Kenosha…

I’m so glad you are you! You have been such a treasure, long before you were four years old, and we took you around the country that summer. Everyone who was involved in that dinner 30+ years ago remembers you and the “broken pie”. And the boys are just as precious, with wonderful parents.
Who has more right to brag than I do?
