Happy Resurrection Day!

Easter week is a special week at our home. We've been doing a 40 day countdown to the special day with readings telling all about the prophecies given through the Old Testament about Jesus. This is such a great time of firming up our faith foundation. 


For the 4th or 5th year, we have been doing a Messianic Passover Seder geared for children. The children love this so much, and we do, too. 

Leila is cutting up apples for the charoset (fruit and nuts mixed together to represent the mortar the slaves used in their work).


Daddy reading about the Last Supper.


Washing one another's feet, which is what Jesus did the night before his crucifixion to teach his disciples humility. 


Hunting for the Afikomen, a piece of matzo broken off, concealed in a white cloth and hidden to represent Christ's body wrapped in a cloth and hidden in a tomb. 


Easter egg hunting with Nonnie.


He didn't seem as interested in the stuff inside the eggs as he did with the bucket and eggs. 


Nailing metal spikes into our cross at the front of our property to give the kids a sense of what it was like for Jesus. 


Thank you, Jesus. 


Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for the confetti eggs from Mexico!


Happy Easter from our family to yours!
