We had a wonderful Easter Sunday. The kids woke up, came and got Ces and I so they could get their Easter baskets. I decided this year to get the kids each a book to put in their Easter baskets. They love books and it's something that never gets shoved to the side and never played with again.
Emma got "If You Give a Cat a Cupcake" (such a cute book), Miguel got "Where the Wild Things Are" (because it was one of Ces' favorite books as a child) and Gabe got "I Love You Through and Through" (super cute book!). They loved their books and immediately wanted to read them.
We then hunted for Easter eggs, along with the ones with candy, I hid 11 eggs with items(rock, cross, white cloth, etc) in them that told the story of Christ's crucifixion and resurrection. They would open an egg and it would have, for example, a rock (stone that covered His tomb) and they had to match it to a picture and then we put them in order and told the story. It was really great and something I think I'm going to continue each year. I wanted something that made them remember why we celebrated Easter. They seem to enjoy this way of learning, as did I.
I also made Easter egg pancakes. The kids love them because of the different colors. They like to eat one of each.
Gabriel just like to eat the plastic eggs. He was so cute.

Great ideas! You are so creative! Looks like you all had a great Easter! I may need to borrow your egg hunt idea..I love it!
What awesome ideas! You'll have to let me know what sort of items you put in each egg so we can copy you.
