We are all dressed in our Sunday best for Easter this year. Its so much fun to dress up for the day. Elsa's dress is a handmade special from Momma and she loves it. Today was a very special day as we were able to celebrate Jesus' resurrection and our freedom from sin as a family.
This year for the kids "Easter Basket" they didn't get the traditional basket of candy and eggs. But since Earth Day coincided with Good Friday this year, Momma took advantage of the opportunity. They each received a gardening tools set, including a watering can and we picked out some flowers. They love digging, planting and watering (maybe watering a little too much!). If only they liked getting baths as much as getting dirty. Oh well, we can't have everything.
I can't say it enough, they just love playing in the dirt, and I love that they can learn from growing and caring for some flowers. Easter is celebrating life and the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. What better tangible object to portray that Life than a beautiful flower garden.
This is gonna be their little garden to grow things. We are still working on the finishing touches and clean up. We are glad that we have found a way for the whole family to participate. Hopefully it will continue to develop and be finished soon!

OH MY GOODNESS. NANA is so impressed with your garden. Tiffany, I couldn't agree with you more. Their garden is wonderful. The lessons that they will learn from growing and caring for the flowers will also teach tenderness and patience, attributes that are sometimes hard to see in the business of being a busy toddler. I love you all so much.
I'm so thankful my parents taught me how to grow things and play in the dirt! As I have grown older I find so much pleasure in my yard and flowers. Lovely to see an Easter update from you guys.
BEAUTIFUL FAMILY!!
Love you,
Grandad, Mim & Ethan
