Easter Activities

This Easter is Elijah's 3rd Easter and what a fun Easter season it has been. He is beginning to understand a little bit about the true reason for Easter and that Christ died for him and rose again. He has also had a fun time doing all the other activities we normally associate with this time of year.

Easter Egg Hunt at Elijah's Preschool

He found so many eggs they started falling out of his basket

All the preschool children made bunny ears and jumped around to the "Bunny song" where they had to act like a bunny (wiggling ears, shaking tail, hopping, etc.)

Making a baby chic with Miss Joan

At home, we decorated and dyed our own eggs for the first time. We colored designs on the eggs first with crayons...

Then, dipped them in the dye...

Then had a fun time pulling them out of the dye

We ended up with such fun, bright colors

Since we live in a mobile home park, they put on special activities for the children during holiday times. Yesterday we went to the main club house and Elijah got to make his own bunny mask.

Ta-da!

His favorite was the lollipop he received

In the afternoon we went to an Easter egg hunt from Grandma's church.

There was a fun puppet show (isn't my boy so handsome!)

And instead of getting his face painted, he decided to put it on his hand

Elijah loved his rainbow and was disappointed the next day when he realized it was no longer on his hand.
His favorite part about this event, was the bouncy house. In fact, two minutes after the Easter Egg Hunt, he was no longer interested in his eggs and just wanted to bounce. Who can blame him.
