Going back in time a bit, I feel I need to cover some of our Easter activities.  We decorated eggs and had a couple of Easter Egg Hunts and all of that, but we also concentrated a little bit more on the true meaning of Easter.  One of our friends  is working on getting his book on Easter published and gave us a copy to try out with our family.  It went through and told what Christ did each day, the week of his crucifixion and resurrection.  It was cool to go over that with the kids.  They were totally into it.  Its fun to see them excited about learning the gospel (though I’m not going to lie, each Sunday Coop asks if we can just skip church one time.  “It’s so boring!”).  But they truly were interested in learning about what happened to Christ.  It was good.

Here are some pictures of our first Easter Egg Hunt at the little park in our neighborhhod. We have a really cool neighborhood called Walnut Knolls (which we may be leaving soon, but thats a different story).  The neighborhood gets together for different activities and holidays throughout the year.  The A. Wises joined us for this hunt.

Easter Morning.  They look cute here, but after comments of, “Is this all we get?” and tantrums over not finding the “ugly” egg, our morning was ruined.  So much for a Christ centered day in our house.

Another hunt in the A. Wises backyard

Coop’s been having a hard time finding his “real” smile in photos lately
