Our First Easter as a Family of 6

We had a very eventful Easter! But I guess what else would you expect with 4 precious kiddos!! The Sunday before Easter we had an Easter egg hunt at The Grove after church! The Easter Bunny even showed up, and he looked awfully familiar!! That's because Daddy was the Bunny!! Brantley loved the bunny! He wanted to see him more than to hunt for eggs! When John took off the bunny head, Brantley looked at him and said, "DADDY?!" It was so funny!!

We also decided to do something new the Saturday before Easter. We ended up going to The Resurrection Journey that Bellevue hosted. We absolutely loved it!! It was geared for children 3rd grade and under and went through different scenes of the last week of Jesus's life up to His Resurrection! At each stop there was a scene acted out and then each one was given an object to put in their bag to help them to retell the story. For example, they were given a coin to represent Judas's betrayal of Jesus in exchange for 30 pieces of silver. We were also given a devotional to go along with it! It was a lot of fun and was a perfect reminder of why we truly celebrate Easter!!

(Jesus came into Jerusalem riding a donkey on Palm Sunday)

(The boys eating The Last Supper with Jesus)

(Peter telling them about how he denied Jesus 3 times)

(The soldiers describing what they did to Jesus)

(The Cross)

(Brantley examine his coin)

(Brantley's Resurrection Rock)

(They had a petting station afterwards)

The next morning was Easter!! The Easter Bunny did stop by the house and left the kids something in their baskets! Although we know this is NOT why we celebrate Easter it is still fun!! Here are a few pictures of their baskets and of our precious babies!!
