Twas the Night Before Easter...

What a great day we had today! Aidan and Asher had their first pictures taken together. That is usually never fun and takes a long time - but the kids were wonderful! They both lasted the entire time without a breakdown. Tonight was so fun! We dyed Easter eggs, including the one Asher was chewing on and dropped on the floor. We just covered that one with a bunch of stickers. The best part, though, was when we were talking to Aidan about the real meaning of Easter after Asher went to bed. This week we have looked through an Easter box with little items that tell the Easter story. We were supposed to wait to finish it tomorrow, but tonight when we stopped he cried and cried to do the last one and to "do it again!" so we did. We talked to him about why Jesus died on the cross to take the punishment for our sins. Then we talked about how Jesus rose from the grave on Easter Sunday and now we can live forever with Jesus someday! We asked him a lot of questions and the answers we got from our almost 3 year old told us he really did understand what Jesus did and that Jesus is always in our hearts! I am so thankful that our little boy loves Jesus! We will hopefully post Easter egg pictures soon.....
