Easter
No, I'm not crazy, we had an amazing Easter activity on Saturday by walking through the Savior's last week. Our church building was transformed into a magical world where we learned about Jesus's life and the week before His Resurrection. There were a lot of activities for kids to be involved with, and it was beautifully decorated and well thought out. We entered the church and got a passport to fill with stamps of everything we visited, so we started at Palm Sunday and followed the path of palms to a recreation of the temple scene and another stamp of a temple. We then learned of the miracles of his life, and the girls colored a fish that they could put in a bag for Jesus to multiply and feed the multitude. Continuing to the Last Supper to learn about the implementation of the sacrament, and then a dark hall where we saw Christ suffering for our sins in Gethsemane. The next room had explanations of his trial and crucifixion, and we added our names to a board to show all the people whom Jesus atoned for. Next, we briefly journeyed to the spirit world before visiting the Nephites in America. We then saw an empty tomb and ended with his return to Jerusalem in the gym, and we got to experience a little of that life with snacks and activities. The girls, of course, didn't want to miss anything, so we waited in line for all the activities and loved sharing what they did with Daddy when we got back home.
Visitors
We had some family visiting this week for the vintage market days for their business, and Adrian had a great time playing with his similarly aged cousin! They got into all my cabinets in the kitchen, played with the dog bowls, explored the house, ate as many snacks as they could, and played with the baby toys a little bit. They were even on the same nap schedule, so while I was watching them, there were even movements of peace, and they also played independently really well, so it really wasn't too stressful. I even had a chance to finish my cross-stitch project way earlier than planned; it's for Claire's baptism. The girls even had some fun time on Friday since they didn't have school and were excited to come up with games to play in the morning. We had a game night so the girls could show one of their new favorite games, enjoyed the backyard and great weather this week, and enjoyed the company.
