We finally had some days of nice weather around here and we were able to get out and take part in some Spring festivities. Egg hunting was a big hit with Grayson this year. We were able to attend several hunts and he never tired of finding eggs and opening them to see what small treasure was waiting inside.
Our neighborhood hunt was canceled this year due to rain, but a few of us got together the following weekend so that the tradition wouldn't be broken.
Caroline was not so much into hunting eggs this year, but would rather chase the cat or squirrel or whatever else she might see, or just have mommy hold her which is one of her favorite things as of now.
The weather turned out nice for Easter morning, not too cold, so the kids were able to wear their matching bunny attire.
and of course the Easter basket surprises were a special treat after lunch.
This year was especially fun with Grayson as we were able to discuss a little deeper, why we celebrate Easter--teaching him about the death and resurrection of Jesus. Of course there were many questions asked and it was so encouraging to see him really think about the truths of scripture. One night as I was tucking him into bed, he looked up and asked, "mommy, why would Jesus choose Judas if He knew that he was going to be bad?"
I thought that was an impressive question for a 4 year old!
We are always praying for him to begin to ponder the truths in Scripture as we talk about them in our home. We are so thankful for opportunities to teach him about all that our Savior has done for us.
