The Real Easter



We went to a Primary Easter Activity at the Church. One of the Easter Activities was watching a video of Jesus washing his disciples feet and then they had basins for the children to wash each others feet. I was in there to get a picture of Alona, but she was convinced that you only wash your feet in the tub and not at church. And then they were challenged to provide an act of service for someone this week.
Abbi and Alona were able to do this activity. There were 12 eggs filled with different things

Egg #1: twig, Mark 11:8-9
Egg#2: sacrament cup, Mark 14:22-24
Egg#3: dirt(Jesus sat on in the Garden), D&C 19:16-19
Egg#4: nickel, Matthew 26:14-16
Egg#5: thorn, Mark 15:16-18
Egg#6: A cross made out of toothpicks, John 19:16-18
Egg #7: A Nail, D&C 6:37Egg #8: paper "king of jews", John 19:19
Egg#9: sponge, John 19:28-30
Egg#10: linen, Matthew 27:57-59
Egg#11: rock, Matthew 27:60
Egg#12: nothing in it, Mark 16:6
They decorated Eggs(rocks) with markers. Abbi and Kacen had fun earlier in the week rounding up pretty rocks from the yard and put them all in to a pot. They brought them all along with them to the church activity. They were so proud of their hard work. They used their "eggs" instead of any of the other more egg like ones available to them.
And the last activity was making a birds nest. They were given a nest made out of rice krispie treats and got coconut for grass and robin egg candies.
Kacen ate his nest and was left with his big "egg". "Mom this is my egg. (with widened eyes) Its gonna hatch! I'm gonna keep it safe. Its going to crack open. and then it will be a birdie! Its going to be a daddy bird" :)
