Happy Easter! We are so excited to celebrate our Savior and that He is alive! This week we've read the crucifixion and resurrection passages in the Bible. Catherine went with Mimi and me to the Maundy Thursday service. And we've just talked with the kids about what it means that Jesus died and rose again.
We also had a few fun Easter activities. My sister Amanda and her 3 girls came over one day and we all died Easter eggs together.
Their beautiful eggs:
After they took theirs home and the kids ate few of them at dinner that night, we decided we needed to dye some more. So tonight we dyed another 15 eggs. Catherine is very into the "nature-inspired" egg look--she made the ones that look brownish, like real eggs she says.
Mimi also made her famous sugar cookies with the kids today. The really enjoyed helping make the dough, cut out the shapes, make the icing, and decorate them. And they're very yummy!!
Marcy used to make huge batches of these cookies and mailed them to Jay when we were at Furman. It was an exciting day when he got a big tin of these cookies!
We hope you have a great Easter celebration as you rejoice in what our Lord has done for us!
Happy Easter!!
