The DeVore Daily

We had a wonderful, relaxing Easter this year! On Saturday we made our resurrection rolls and dyed Easter eggs. Sunday we enjoyed a wonderful Easter service and then met the Moffitts and Stricklands for a picnic at the park across from our house. We had a very low-key lunch of fried chicken and then everyone brought a side to share. The kids played and hunted eggs. After the park we headed to celebrate a birthday w/ our sweet aggie Patsy and her family. It was fun to celebrate w/ her and finally meet all of her family. We all went home and took naps which was heavenly and then woke-up and the kids opened their Easter baskets. All in all a very fun and relaxing day!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of the things we did to prepare for Easter this year was to make an Easter Garden. I have done this the past couple years and have decided to make it a tradition each year. We got together one afternoon w/ Sara, Elizabeth and all the kids to put them together. We made very "organic" gardens so that the kids could help us. They gathered sticks, dirt, bark, and rocks from the yard and we had a few "pretty" things to add to it. Greyson was very in to it this year which was very fun to talk about the Easter story as we put it together. Davis was more interested in gathering items from the yard. If you've never done this w/ your kids try it next year, it's a fun and easy way to talk about Easter w/ them.

 

 

 

The Thursday before Easter our church hosted "Eggstravaganza"! The kids had a lot of fun doing Easter activities, jumping in the bounce house, eating pizza, and hunting Easter eggs. At the end of all the fun activities our worship leader, Ross King hosted a concert for the kids featuring the songs from his new kids album. If you've never heard it, I highly suggest it-not your typical kids music that you want to pull your hair out if you hear it one more time :)
