Then we had an Easter themed Family Home Evening, which started with Easter egg shaped pizza for dinner.
Of course we studied the Easter story from the scriptures and Alex learned that we all get ressurracket (resurrected).
Then we made stained glass Easter eggs with contact paper and tissue paper. We chose to make an egg because it is such a beautiful symbol of new life and also of Christ emerging from the tomb, triumphant over sin and death.
And of course we finished FHE with peanut butter Easter eggs. The letters are for Daddy, Mommy, Alyssa, Alex and Chloe in case that isn't obvious. Seth asked me what MACAD meant. Alex and Alyssa didn't like them but me and Seth do and obviously so did Chloe.
It was a fun day and luckily I kept busy all day because I ended up with 2 1/2 hours of sleep last night and I think I may have crashed if I'd sat still for a minute.
Happy Easter week!!!

Wow, I like the idea of thinking of this as a week long holiday. We did our easter themed FHE tonight too. It would be good to go through the last week of Christ's life on each corresponding day - probably when they are older.
Did you make the peanut butter eggs? Everything looks like so much fun.
I was waiting to see Chloe through the whole post, and it was well worth the wait to see that last pic. She always comes through! I like that pizza, and the stained glass eggs were cool.
Liz, I did make the eggs. They were super easy. I just used a recipe for buckeyes and shaped them like eggs instead of balls.
What fun! the package looked great and your family home evening ideas were awesome! i think I'm going to steal your egg shaped pizza idea for Friday Pizza night this week.
Hooray for fun times. Looks like the kids had a great time. I love the Easter Pizza. Sounds like a great FHE.
I think I'll steal your pizza idea too. and the stained glass eggs looks too fun!
Julie... you have so many fun things that you do with your kids. I LOVED the pizza, eggs and stained glass... the kids looked like they had a blast... looks like we too may be having all those things over this weekend!!!! Glad to see how much Chloe loved the egg... TOO CUTE!
I'm sorry Julie. My first thought was us of course but when And told me mostly Riverwoods my second thought was you. I hate this feeling.
Packages are one of the best reasons for living far away...you get one and know how much you are loved! Love the chocolate covered girl too.
I was going to leave a comment, but everyone else stole my responses, so all I can say is DITTO to all'a that.
I love the pizza idea. Very fun!
These things are seriously SO cute-SuperMom!! Love it!
Such great ideas! I think that I will definitely steal some of them.
