We enjoyed the Easter season with a few new traditions. Instead of a traditional Easter egg hunt we did something a bit different. The Monday before Easter we taught our children the Book of Mormon account of the Crucifixion and Resurrection of the Savior. We attempted to create destruction (furniture chairs and toys) and darkness (blindfolded and waited until dark) in the land and instructed them to gather their families (plastic eggs filled with candy) and head to the temple in Bountiful (top of the kitchen table). Once all the Easter eggs had been gathered and they sat on the top of our kitchen table we then read from the scriptures about the Resurrected Savior appearing to the Nephites on the American Continent. This was an enjoyable activity and our children said it was the best Easter egg hunt they had ever had. It was fun to learn together and celebrate this wonderful season.
A second Easter tradition will be chocolate covered marshmallow eggs. Instead of dying hard boiled eggs we made marshmallow eggs!...from scratch! Theses were very fun and much sweeter than hard boiled eggs.
Easter would not be complete without a snap shot of the children before church. It is always a mad rush to be ready a few minutes before church to take these pictures in the yard. These are for you mom!
