Holy Week was spring break for us, but we still managed to do Easter-y things every day.
 |
| Planting wheatgrass in our Easter baskets. |
 |
| Making palms on Palm Sunday. We read the story of the Triumphal Entry from the scriptures, then the kids wanted to act it out. Each day of the week, we read from the scriptures the accounts corresponding to that day in the Savior's life, and then we put up pictures on the wall illustrating that particular day's happenings. |
 |
| On Friday, Preston's birth family spent the afternoon with us dying Easter eggs--naturally, using red cabbage, beets, dandelions, juice, etc. You can see our Easter story picture wall in the background. |
 |
| Dallin had a really fun time! Did you know that you can just rub an eggshell with a dandelion and it will color it yellow? Or a leaf from a weed to get green? |
 |
| Naturally-dyed eggs are perfect for wheatgrass baskets! |
 |
| We usually have our Jerusalem Dinner on Thursday night to commemorate the Last Supper, but this year we did it on Saturday. |
 |
| The Easter baskets. |
 |
| Preston got mainly supplies for his soon-to-come foray into the world of solid food. He even preferred his new spoon to the cool toy he got. |
 |
| This picture is blurry, but perfectly captures the relationship of three little cousins, who had a blast during Easter dinner! |
