Easter

The week before Easter McKell had some fun activities at school. Because it's a private, church-run preschool they can teach about the real meaning of Easter, which I love. I came to pick her up one day and they were all standing together with big paper palm leaves acting out the story of Jesus's triumphal entry into Jerusalem. 

The school is next to a retirement home, so the kids got to walk over there to present a little Easter program for the residents, followed by an Easter egg hunt. 

And a few days later they had classroom Easter parties and another egg hunt outside the school.

McKell really liked the two Darth Vader eggs she found.

At home we did an Easter devotinal Friday night, which included making the Resurrection Rolls we discovered last year. Then Easter baskets were enjoyed and eggs hunted for on Saturday morning. And Sunday, of course, was Church. (By the way, it's getting REALLY hard to find dresses for Kaylee that have sleeves AND are longer than her mid-thigh.)
