We started our Easter Week on Sunday with a quick discussion of Palm Sunday. It really wasn’t worthy of that special day! We got more earnest with our celebrating on Monday when we went to the temple. We went there to remember that Jesus cleansed the temple. He brought peace there, just as He can to our home and our hearts. It was a beautiful evening at the temple.
We ate dinner in the car that night, Domino’s Pizza.
On Tuesday we dyed our Easter eggs.
On Wednesday we watched some Bible videos while we ate our dinner. Vidoes of some of the parables that Jesus Christ taught. On Thursday night we had a Jerusalem dinner. It wasn’t authentic at all, but it helped us to remember the Last Supper. We watched videos while we ate that dinner as well.
There wasn’t school on Thurdsay or Friday that week. On Friday Isaac and Grace made Borax crystal eggs.
They also got a little silly.
Later that day we made Resurrection Rolls as we discussed what happened on Good Friday.
They’re empty!
Lee and I went to the temple for ward temple night. Perfect place to be right before Easter.
Saturday morning was Easter Bunny day. After a hunt, the kids found their baskets.
After they found their baskets they were free to find all those eggs.
And put the candy in the communal pot!
We had our traditional bunny bums for breakfast. They are almost too cute to eat!
Those Mad Libs got some good use that morning!
When the festivities were done I went to MiKayla Rollins’ bridal shower. Emma had yet another prom to get ready for! Nathan Pederson had asked her to the Molalla High School prom. Emma was pretty excited to say yes! A different friend came to do her make-up this time while I was at the shower. Then Grace got to go to an Easter egg hunt with a friend.
When her make-up was done Spencer came to do her hair. He did a really good job, it looked beautiful. He’s got talent.
Then Nathan came to pick up Emma.
Emma was pretty excited to see that the boutonniere had a magnet! Much easier than pins!
I’m so glad Emma has good friends to experience fun things with!
Emma had a great time with Nathan and his friends.
While she was gone Isaac and Grace went to the Sunderland’s for a birthday party. We took advantage of being kid-free and went to dinner with the Parker’s. It’s always a fun time with them! On Sunday we went on an Easter walk.
Church was wonderful that day. I love celebrating the Atonement, resurrection and love of our Savior Jesus Christ.
We went to Grandma Dorothy’s that night for a delicious Easter dinner.
I made a lemon blueberry cake for dessert.
What a good Easter week we had!
