This year we visited my parents for Easter Sunday. Easter is the most exciting day of the year! Not only is it fun to hide chocolate eggs in the garden & watch the boys search for them but it is also the day we remember that Jesus rose from the dead so that we can know God.
To help us remember the true meaning of Easter we have some special eggs called
Resurrection Eggs that we hide with the chocolate eggs. Inside each egg is an object to help re-tell the Easter story.. it has things like a little donkey to remind us that Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, a tiny wine cup to represent the last supper & a stone to represent the tomb... The boys love opening each egg up & listening to what each thing symbolises.
My mum & dad cooked us a lovely Easter meal (thankyou!) & for pudding we had the simnel cake that Jordan decorated with 12 candles to represent the apostles.
Annie loved the candles being blown out! After lunch we watched the animated film The Miracle Maker which we all thoroughly enjoyed.
On Easter Monday we spent the day at Delamere Forest exploring & collecting bugs in the boys new bug boxes that my parents had bought each of them.
The boys really enjoyed climbing on the log piles....
...posing for photos....
... and jumping off the end! It was great fun! Jordan said he hadn't realised before that exploring could be THIS much fun! ;0)
