Easter To Do's

On Easter Sunday, we had our usual and very nice Easter lesson. This is the best illustrative lesson about the Savior, His atonement and the true meaning of Easter. The kids really learn from it and it is set up in a way that even the littlest kids pay attention. After that we watched The Lamb of God. We finished our Easter celebration, with a wonderful lamb dinner. I had bought a huge lamb roast in January for a third of the cost of what it is around Easter. The kids ate and ate and ate. Kate made apple crisp for dessert. I would have said we had a perfect Easter day based upon the teachings of the Savior if Joseph hadn't drawn all over the walls before church and we continued to discover more drawings as the day progressed.

We didn't get to any candy and egg stuff until Friday. Friday morning the kids woke up to filled Easter baskets. I filled the Easter baskets for 8 children on $25. I am pleased!

 On Saturday, at Grandma's house with the cousins, we dyed eggs. A few of my kids even dyed their hands. It's a good thing the weather was nice and we did the egg dying outdoors.

 Finally, we hid our eggs and the kids got to hunt for them. Grandma had a lot of candy for all of the kids. I'd have to say that with unemployment and all, our kids had some pretty great Easter celebrations.
