Sunday morning we went to church and it was a really nice service. They gave everyone flowers when we came in and during the service they brought in a cross covered in chicken wire. The talked about how Christ is no longer on the cross and now it represents life. So we were going to transform it into something living. Then they had the whole congregation bring up their flowers and put them in the chicken wire. It was a beautiful representation of how the cross represents life. So cool! Then at the end of the service during the last song they had all the kids in children's church (Brian included) run up to the stage with palm leaves waving them. It was very cute.
After church we came home and had a nice afternoon. We played games with the boys, had a nice dinner and of course did the whole Easter basket and egg hunt for the kids. We talked to the boys about what Easter means. I was so proud of them because they do know what we celebrate on Easter! When we would say "He is risen" they would respond "He is risen indeed!" What a great day!

I especially like the pictures where you can tell Allison is observing everything that is going on. She will be a professional egg dyer next year, thanks to watching the boys. :) Looks like they were very careful - I'm sure you were thrilled to have so little clean up!
I love what your church did with the chicken wire and flowers! What a great idea! I bet it looked beautiful in the end...what a great reminder!!!
I just love to dye eggs! It is so fun to see the kids having such a great time.
