Easter Festivities

We started celebrating Easter last weekend with Jason's parents by having a little Easter Egg hunt in the front yard. The boys had fun and it was good practice for the egg hunt on Saturday at the gym.
Easter Morning before church

At the gym the kids did a few crafts, hunted for eggs, visited the bunny (Jacob), and had pancakes! Deacon wasn't sure he really enjoyed all of it but I'm hopeful that by next year he will be more adaptable. :)




We also visited the bunny at the mall per Jacob's request. Deacon again wasn't a fan but we have the memory for sure. Friday night after church we colored our Easter eggs another thing Jacob loved and Deker didn't Easter morning we enjoyed a beautiful service at church before lunch at my parents and big naps for the boys in the afternoon!

All the bunny stuff and eggs were fun but the most amazing part was seeing Jacob begin to understand why we celebrate Easter. We watched a neat video that really explained the sacrifice Jesus made as well as read the Easter story in the bible. He also came home from Sunday school with many good questions after our Good Friday service and our Easter morning service. He also learned some new praise song that he loved singing for both his grandparents!! We are so thankful for Jacob's growing love for our Lord and savior as well as for our church that helps him grow in his understanding of the faith.
