easter celebration

i don't know what it is about easter
but it creeps up on me every year.
i am never ready for it.
always scrambling at the last minute
for easter treats and toys.
finding new fun activities for the boys to do.

we started off our easter celebration with
the traditional coloring of eggs.

i tried to come up with something new this year.
i searched the internet, but didn't find anything i was looking for,
so i came up with an idea on my own.
MAGIC JELLY BEANS
i put jelly beans in a little baggy
and made up a saying to put on top.
it said
"Take these magic jelly beans and plant them in the ground,
As you wake on Easter morning something special will be found."
so what did they find you ask?
a large lollipop planted in the ground.

(the boys loved the idea of magic jelly beans
and are enjoying their lollipops)

another tradition at our house...
the easter egg hunt
READY, SET, HUNT!

we had a great easter weekend.
we are grateful for our traditions we celebrate
together as a family,
but most importantly we are grateful for the
resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

HAPPY EASTER!
