Snowy Easter

Happy Easter! Spring has dumped about 8" of snow on us today. It is melting fast and we needed the moisture. We did not hide eggs outside though. I am loosing my thrill for doing baskets and coloring eggs. D is now 9 and is not convinced there is an Easter Bunny. So how do you wind down the bunny side of Easter? I have struggled with this as it does not honor the reason we have Easter. Do we teach about the atonement and resurrection enough? I think my kids all understand the importance of Jesus Christ. They believe He is their Savior, the Redeemer of the world. They know about the sacrifice Christ made for each of them. I hope they know how personal and real it is. I'm sure I was fairly clueless at their ages. I still am learning and gaining in my understanding. How do you transition from baskets, candy, eggs and bunnies to repentance, renewal, sacrifice, and love?

Baby Shoe Pin Cushions

I made these baby shoe pin cushions for a craft show. I loved doing them and then did not do the craft show. I gave a few away and sold 3, but still have 17, all different. Let me know what you think.
