Early Easter Celebrations, Friends, and Crafts


We tried several times to release the butterflies, but I think it was just a bit too cold for them. They wanted to stay in our nice warm house a little longer!! But after a week, we knew it was time... so we brought them over to the Abken's house to release them with all of the kids from our bible study group. We had a little early Easter celebration with them that day. It was really really nice.

We've been spending this holy week doing all kinds of activities and reading from - you guessed it - the Jesus Storybook Bible! We had the Candler and Velikonia kids and their mommies over to decorate eggs. It was so fun! Then the boys and I dyed eggs again the next day. Josiah loves it and keeps asking me to do it again! I made a pretty floral centerpiece with some of the eggs that we dyed. James and I also made "palm branches" out of green construction paper hand print cutouts. I didn't get a picture of them... but one of the other activities was to make these "stained glass" crosses with waxed paper and crayon shavings. They turned out beautiful!
