I wanted to make Easter bigger this year, because what happened is worth a better celebration. So I spent the week going over the scriptures very carefully with the younger kids and providing them special treats each day culminating on Easter morning when we gave them a lot of treats! After the regular candy hunt that the kids really do enjoy, we made a large fire and roasted peeps, but it was a little too warm for that. We still have a large feast and a cake and more scriptures to go. It has been good to make it bigger and more celebratory. I think that I am going to do more next year when I have more time to plan. I would like to have more special dinners and some singing times and some white lights hung around to decorate. But Easter 2022, I think has been one of our better, more celebratory and more spiritual celebrations.
Gideon found a few packages of M&Ms hidden in the couch pillows where he was sitting beside me and that was enough for him. He didn't go and look for any candy after that. He just watched everyone else and talked about the candy that they were finding.
