After sharing with you all the egg dying fun we had with the kids, I wanted to show you what we did with the eggs they dyed, and a little bit of the rest of the Easter/Spring decor around our home. As always, our little holiday tree ( or, branch in a bucket of bricks…lol.) is decorated. Mostly photos here – less chit-chat.

{O} did this arrangement of some of our dyed eggs and raffia in a tall glass jar, all by herself. (She’s 8.) I was so impressed.
Next, you can see what I decided to do with some of those dyed pieces of lace you saw in the photos of the egg dying post….
CALVARY.
This was a Lenten project & (Scriptural) lesson we did with the kids. Well, Michael really gave the lesson, and he did a really good job with the message, as they all worked, getting their hands really dirty. It always warms my heart, to listen to the kids talk about their faith, so directly from their heart, and in such sweet ways. I took lots of photos of them making this. I’ll share in time next year, and show you how it is done. (If I’m still blogging.) The whole thing will be going out in my garden. I love it, for all it represents. The kids put it together, seeded it, watered it every day, and grew it to this, and all of that makes me love it even more.
JESUS’ TOMB.
I hope you enjoyed the peek. : ) We won’t be blogging again until next week. Our family has a busy and focused rest of the week, that I’m really looking forward to, as we prepare ourselves for Easter. So we just wanted to say to you now…
From our home to yours, wishing all of you, and your families, a blessed Holy Week, and a joyful Easter Sunday celebration.
See you again soon.
I love votives to decorate and your eggs are so cute! hope you had a happy Easter!
Laura, you’re family has outdone themselves this year! I love the empty tomb ‘craft’. If you’re not blogging next year, I’m going to bug you on how you guys made it 🙂 Happy Easter love the Levesque Family.
((Hi!!)) and thank you, Samantha!! I wanted to let you know, the tomb is not empty anymore. On Good Friday (yesterday), the kids laid a clothes pin in their, and covered it with a small piece of white paper towel. (It’s symbolic of Jesus’ body, wrapped in garments, of course.). On Easter the tomb will be empty again. Alleluia!! Of course one way or another, I’ll share this craft with you next year. Wishing you ALL a blessed and joyful Easter celebration. XO
