Here comes Peter Cottontail...

YAY for Easter!  It has always been my favorite holiday, even as a kid.  And Easter 2011 was a great one as well.  We started celebrating at the beginning of April. Every morning, Caeden, Ella and I would sit down to read the Bible story of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection.  We also worked on our memory verse "Jesus is Alive!", which they can both say now.  We made some fun crafts and sang some songs about how Jesus is Alive and how that makes us sooo happy!  When we talk about it, we all get excited and clap our hands! ;)

Then came last week...on Thursday we went to an Easter Party, which was great fun.  When we first got there, we made some crafts. 

A chick...

And a bunny...

Then we played a game of Ring Toss

on the bunny's ears!

Finally, the Easter egg hunt!

We then went inside where we had some fun easter snacks, and got our party favors.  It was a great morning!

On Friday night, we had some friends over for dinner, and dyed some Easter eggs!

We were planning on going to the city-wide Easter egg hunt on Saturday afternoon, but it got rained out. :(  HOWEVER, we had some fun at Ella's 2nd birthday party that day!!

On Sunday, we went to church to celebrate Jesus' resurrection, came home for lunch, took lots of pictures with family, and had an indoor Easter egg hunt...since it was STILL raining.  Here are some pictures:

Well, I think that's it!  We had a wonderful Easter together, and I pray you did too!
