decorated eggs with Lydia ...
went on an Easter Egg hunt with friends ...
had a visit from the Easter Bunny ...
and sported bright new dresses to church!
A couple of weeks ago we dedicated our Family Home Evening to talking about the true meaning of Easter and the Resurrection of our Savior. In an effort to stay focused on the true meaning of Easter while enjoying the more secular traditions, we frequently reminded Lydia that even though we were having fun with all these things, the real reason we celebrate Easter is because of Jesus. I guess we did a pretty good job of teaching her because as we were getting ready to leave the Easter Egg Hunt/Party yesterday, she looked at me and very seriously said, "Jesus didn't come, Mom." Oh that sweet girl. She melts my heart all to pieces.
