Fun with eggs

We have had so much fun with eggs in the past week.  Coloring them, reading about them, learning about them, dying them, and hunting for them!

I asked the boys to make silly faces like the ones on their eggs

Today at church we had our annual Easter egg hunt and candy drop.  I was privileged to be one of the preschool guides.  It was so fun to share the story of Easter with the little ones using the colorful jelly beans found inside their eggs. 

Black is for the sins we've done

 Redis for the love of God's Son

Green is for the life He now lives

Pink is for the joy He gives

Purple is for the robe He wears

Orange is for the reminder that He cares

White is for the grace He has given

Yellow is for your place in heaven

Here we are learning about Easter using our eggs and jelly beans

After going through our Easter poem it is time to head out to the soccer field for the candy drop. 

 SO FUN! 

The helicopter lifted off and made a couple of circles around the soccer field dropping lots of candy

Look at that candy pouring down!

Joshua was diggin' it

The preschool group got to get their candy first

Here are the K5-5th grade kids after they have been given the OK to run and fill up their bags

Casey couldn't keep his eyes off the helicopter

Casey had a great time filling his bag with treats. 

We are so blessed to have such awesome leadership in our church.  Pastor Mike did a great job putting this together.  Our boys loved it!
