After our dinner, Josiah and Caleb waited inside while their parent hid the eggs they decorated and the Resurrection Eggs outside. Once they were all hidden around our yard, the boys went out to find them; Josiah had a lot of fun doing this, but Caleb became distracted by the sandbox and decided playing in the sand was something which sounded more fun to him than finding eggs!
After all the eggs were found, the boys came inside to find their inside surprises (the minions I crocheted for them and some play-doh and candy) then, Josiah sat down with his parents and explained why each item in the Resurrection Eggs was there! I was so happy to hear him do this!
Coloring, hiding and finding eggs; and special surprises - can be a lot of fun, but Easter is far more than these things. It is about the Resurrection of Jesus! I'm so glad the boys had the fun of finding eggs and surprises, but I'm thankful and overjoyed they are learning about why we celebrate and what it means for their lives!
Happy Resurrection Sunday!
