The kids had an Easter egg hunt and Aussie got to see the Easter bunny. It was quite chilly. They had long sleeves on and then we put some sweater coats on them.
Then we went to our church to do a Resurrection trail. It was wonderful! Each station had a little token the kids could take with them that could remind them of each section of the Bible we read. The first station had a piece of fur which represented the donkey Jesus rode. One station had praying hands that represent Jesus on the mountain praying, etc.
But the station that really got me and moved me was station 7. 
The kids had Greg write notes and 
then they signed them of something they wanted to be forgiven for. 
Then they nailed them to the cross.
They had big long nails there for the kids to pound into the ground. I couldn't even explain to the kids what they were for. Greg realized I was emotional and picked up and told them what it was for.
And then unfortunately Greg's phone rang. The alarm on our house was going off. So we left immediately. We got home as the police showed up. Everything was fine. We were unable to go back and go through the rest of the trail.
Anyway, here are a few pictures of some beautiful tulips 
blooming at church.
This picture just screams Spring to me. Oh how I love tulips!
Then later in the evening we did some more Spring celebrating and col
ored some Easter eggs.
They named their eggs. I really wanted to eat one, but how could I? I would make Starry lonely if I took the one I made away from it. Or Stripes would be upset that I ate him. Anyway, I had to wait a couple days before I could eat one.
That evening Ashley dressed up as the Easter bunny and gave us a picture in our Easter baskets that she drew.
Ahhhh....I have more, but it must wait. I must go to bed.
