Easter Morning

Besides the fight over who got to have the egg with the dollar hidden inside and the insuing emotional breakdown by the oldest, the kids really enjoyed Easter morning. We learned all about how Easter eggs are just for fun but the real reason for Easter is "Jesus died and woke up on Easter." (Isabelle). And "before he died he had a feast and he let all the people come." (Jack). "Jesus died. On the cross." (Eva). We've been reading the Old Testament as a family this year and have recently been on the story of Moses so we talked a lot about Passover and Easter. I didn't think about it until it was too late (midnight Easter) but I should have bought a lamb roast instead of ham, in order to have our own Passover feast to reinforce the knowledge they've gained this week. Next year we'll definately do that, if I remember.
