A few days before Easter we did an egg hunt using the Resurrection Eggs. After they found all the eggs, we sat down and opened them in order (they each contain an item that helps tell part of the story - donkey, coins, cup, etc) and read a short Bible verse that went with each.
Doesn't everybody collect Easter eggs in army helmets?
Found one!
Getting the eggs in order from one to twelve...
On Sunday morning, they couldn't wait to look in their Easter baskets. We figured they would get plenty of candy later, so we tried to make their baskets about Jesus. I was a little surprised (happily, of course) that they were more excited about getting their own Bibles than they were about the candy.
After church, we headed over to Uncle Ron and Aunt Sherri's house for lunch.

Still waiting...
