Easter Morning

Easter for our family isn't about the Easter Bunny, or the baskets, dying eggs, or egg hunts, although egg hunts and dying eggs are a lot of fun. Easter is about Jesus Christ who died on the cross for our sins and then rose from the dead 3 days later.

With that said, I was once again very excited about the Easter activities that followed our early morning church service. It was the same as last years activities, with a couple more things added. But it was so good last year, I was glad to see it be the theme again thig year. It was called Holyland Adventures: The Jerusalem Marketplace. There were 14 stations all centred around what it would have been like to live during Jesus' last days. Most of the stations had something for the kids to make and take home to remember their experience.

At this station, you wrote your sins on a piece of material and then placed it into the tub of water. It demonstrated how our sins are washed away.

Decorating her crown. Someday our crowns in heaven will be made of
real gold and jewels, not just paper and glitter.
Grinding up spices and herbs that were in Jesus' day. Once the herbs and spices were ground,
they were put into a little sachet bag to bring home. Learning the basket weave. These are only a handful of the stations that the girls went to. Once again, Hannah enjoyed learning and doing all the crafts. This Easter activity really helps show the kids what living in Jesus' day was like and really is a great way to celebrate Easter!
