Resurrection Eggs
This year I decided to do Resurrection Eggs with the kiddos starting on Ash Wednesday and continuing until Easter. Basically I made my decision for two reasons. One to keep their focus on why we as true followers of Christ celebrate Easter. And two because of the success we had with the Nativity Scene at Christmas time.
The way I decided to do our eggs was to use them as visual aids as I would tell the kiddos the story of Jesus death and resurrection. I also modified our eggs by finding several different examples online and making our own using items we had at home.
Here is the list we used:
Makenna and Colin both really enjoy playing with the Resurrection Eggs. Makenna once again picked up on the story very quickly and began retelling it to us. Here is a video of her description of Jesus death and resurrection.

Kyla - 2 Week Stats
Kyla had her 2 week appointment on Monday. The doctor was shocked at how much weight she had gained in just 2 weeks. Here are her stats...
Weight : 6 pounds 15 ounces
Height : 19 inches
And just for fun here is a link to Makenna's 2 week stats and Colin's 2 week stats. It is fun to look back and remember them as sweet infants.
