Easter Sunday Before Church

Celebrating Easter @ Midwestern

We had such a great Easter weekend this year. We got to spend some time with Matt on Saturday at school and Jayden and Jolie loved it. Midwestern does a great job of putting on events for the family. It was one of those days where you can see how happy your kids are, and how much fun they had and it just makes you happy. Jolie and Jayden both kept telling me how much fun it was.
I really want my kids to know why we celebrate Easter and that it's really not about a bunny and eggs. During the week we watched a lot of the Bible Videos made by the church. They are fantastic. We just watched one after another after another. They didn't get an Easter basket this year, but an Easter jar. I put a little bit of candy in the bottom, filled it with some grass, then had an egg and put a scripture in it for both of them. I know they don't really care now, but I hope it will be something they look forward to. It was such a great weekend and I'm so glad we got to spend it with some family. My Aunt Nana had a dinner at her house in Chandler on Sunday afternoon and it was just fun to see the kids play and visit with family. I have a box of Jelly Bellies from Matt's Mom that I can't wait to open. It was just another one of those days where everything seemed perfect(knock on wood). Matt had a pretty tough week of school so it felt like we deserved it. It was a good reward for such a tough week I guess you could say.
