Easter. What is Easter to you?
Maybe it’s eggs, maybe it’s family time, maybe it’s spiral cut ham, or maybe it’s being able to wear white pants the next day. I hope Evan and Jaden learn that Easter is so much more—that Jesus loves all of us so much that he gave his life for us so that we can live too. This year, our Easter weekend was a little ‘unconventional’ with a half marathon, an outdoor egg hunt after a .25 road race for the boys, a waterpark, an indoor egg scavenger hunt, and a reheated Easter dinner. Instead of captions for the pictures of our weekend fun, I’ll share excerpts from Evan and Jaden’s ‘The Story of Easter’ board book by Patricia Pingry.

When spring comes, baby
animals are born, and flowers begin to bloom.
Springtime also brings Easter. On Easter we remember Jesus and what He
did for us.
Jesus loved all boys and girls, and moms and dads too. He was called
the Good Shepherd.
Grandmas and Aunts and boys and girls loved Jesus too. They laid palm
branches in His path.
On that first Easter, Jesus’ friends met an angel. He told them, “Jesus
has risen! He is alive today!”
We celebrate Easter because Jesus lived again on that first Easter
morning.
Jesus loved us so much that he gave his life for us so that we can live
too.
