Easter

Spending Easter with the Michaels family is starting to become a tradition. The past two years have been just with the Michaels. We dyed eggs.

Abrianna showing off her pretty pink egg.

The dads hid them and we all trooped outside for the hunting.
It took less than 10 minutes for the eggs to be recovered. Tiffany was creative and hid matchbox cars in some of the shells. 12 eggs were given to Tiffany for the next activity.

Inside these eggs were props for the resurrection story. Things like rose bush thorns, spices, and money were in some of the eggs. I was happy that Tiffany made it a point to include that story with the hands on/visual aids.
Afterward the kids played with toys will the parents played the wii for a bit. Then Tiffany finished up making lunch while I fixed the kids plates of haystacks. Lunch was topped of with banana cream pie. I went to finish shopping while Rick and the kids played. Then home to naps. All and all a nice day.

Our Sabbath school did the eggs with symbolic items inside and it was so cool! I'd never seen it done before, but I really enjoyed it and so did the kids!
