EASTER EGGS
One night for Family Home Evening we painted Easter eggs. We had so much fun painting and designing our eggs. We used water colors, and rubber bands to create our masterpieces! It was fun to see the differences of each of my children as they designed their great work. Hailey was very meticulous and careful as she painted her eggs. Amber was all about the production...the more eggs the better! And Jakey...well, he was all about disrupting everybody else's progress, but he was definitely cute in the process! After we had tons of fun decorating eggs, we played fun "Easter" games. We raced from one destination to another with eggs on spoons. We had to maneuver great obstacles, and we created new rules with each new game. We also played a game where we hid an Easter Egg with one person, while another person left the room. When the person who left the room had returned, they had to guess where the Easter egg was located...we chanted a cute little rhyme in the process. Finally, we watched "Finding Faith in Christ", which is a movie that depicts the Saviors life, and His sacrifice on our behalf. It is a powerful movie, and my testimony grows about the Savior each time I watch it. It was a fun Family Home Evening!
