Easter Happenings

We have been getting in Easter mode around here. We kicked the festivities off on Wednesday. Libby had her Easter party at school. All the parents met in the Chapel for a sweet 15 minute service. I wasn't able to get any good pictures... bad lighting and moving kids. I love that they focus on the real meaning of Easter instead of talking about just the Easter bunny and egg hunts. {Although we do the Easter bunny and egg hunts.}After Chapel all the kids went to all the different rotations in different classrooms. They started off decorating cookies.

Then they made palm branches.

They waved their palm branches around the classroom like the people did when Jesus came to Jerusalem. 

They sang and danced to some Easter music.

The last thing they did was make a cross, and matched the "jelly beans" to the symbols on the cross. Libby was so excited to have her Daddy at school to help her. 

Thursday we got started on dying Easter eggs. Libby loved it! And we didn't have many egg breaking incidents. We used the PAAS color cups this year. Super easy to clean up!

I hope everyone has a great Easter weekend! And to remember the real meaning of Easter.
