Easter

This year, we discussed the 'traditional' Easter routine and decided that we'll just keep it simple. So, a small basket of a bunny, banana, some raisin-filled eggs and straws for color was all it took to get an "ooohhh" from Ari.


We did a 'hunt' for eggs and our little tee-tobbler waddled to the eggs and exclaimed as she discovered raisins and bunny crackers.
On Saturday night, I read Ari the crucifixion and resurrection story from a Bible that was in her room. She sat attentively as I struggled through the KJV of the story (it was from a childhood Bible of mine) and though she didn't understand, I prayed for her that she will grow to know Jesus.
Instead of a traditional lunch, we used what we had on hand... salmon! It was nice to chat with family and friends as we all celebrated Jesus' resurrection... Comforting to know that everyone else kept it low key this year.

Happy Easter everyone!

Reading scripture and praying over your daughter is the best thing you could for her this Easter.

Bless you.

A bit late but Happy Easter to you too. I know I will hear someday that she knows Jesus and will enjoy seeing her in heaven some day. I love to anticipate kids knowing him. It is so exciting, especially when it's family. Bless you three...and 3/4.
