Christ Has Risen Indeed
Hallelujah
I received an encouraging email a few days before Holy Week reminding me that Easter isn't just about getting up and going to church on Sunday, singing and worshiping our Lord, and heading home to eat a nice family dinner. I was encouraged to make Easter Week special. Take time out of our busy week to remember the cross.
I spent some time looking through websites, pinterest, and asking friends and family for fun ideas to celebrate Holy Week. I created a fun Easter calendar for Ruthie to keep track of our days and activities.
Palm Sunday Branches
Monday- we ate pretzels and made prayer hands
Tuesday- we were going to make soap- but couldn't find the ingredients so we had a fun worship night
Wednesday we made Easter Lily's and Had a fun Easter Egg Hunt
Thursday we made Resurrection Eggs
Friday we made Crosses
Saturday we made Resurrection Rolls for Sunday morning
We also decorated Easter Eggs
Easter morning was a lot of fun! We got up early, put the Resurrection Rolls in the oven, and started our Easter Egg Hunt. Ruthie and Brayden loved finding the eggs hidden all over the house. After that, we got ready for church and headed down the valley to celebrate our Risen Lord. After church, we headed to my parents house for Easter dinner. We had a great day- my daughter had way to much sweets but my husband insisted that she NEEDED it! :)
A few days after Easter Sunday- Gaga and Opa Stube came to visit- we loved having them here for a few days!! Ruthie and Brayden loved time with them and cannot wait to go down to New Bern in a few months for Gaga Camp! Ruthie asks me every day if we're heading to North Carolina... I can't wait to answer "yes" to that question!!
Happy Easter!!
