Easter has come and gone. I didn’t get a family picture. I barely got a picture of the kids on Easter morning. The events celebrating Easter were fast and fun. The week leading up to these fun events was slow which provided the perfect opportunity to walk Perry through the Resurrection Eggs. They both loved opening the eggs and finding the daily surprise. Every day Perry pretended to read the Scripture. I could tell everything we were talking about was starting to sink in with Perry. He was able to recall the stories and egg surprises from the day before. But he caught me off guard when he woke up one morning crying and very afraid that his Daddy was going to die on the cross like Jesus. I have to admit this never crossed my mind. I never considered that the stories of our Savior could scare him. So, through some teary eyes I tried to explain that Jesus didn’t stay dead the good news is he rose from the dead and is alive. Even though I don’t know the future, I told him his daddy probably wouldn’t die on a cross.
This year at Easter when we asked Perry, “what is Easter all about?” First he said, “eggs with candy” to which we replied nope, then he said “Jesus died on the pross (cross) for all of us.” Even though the Gospel story is a little scary for the 3 yr old heart and mind, it is so important. I’m thankful Perry is starting to grasp that.
This picture is the best I could on Sunday morning. It is from my phone...which isn't smart. 
We were having one of those mornings. By the time we were all 4 together we weren't in the picture taking mood.
Our Church Egg Hunt. Of course no one looks at momma for the picture. I'm pretty sure they both have candy in their mouths.
