We've talked all week during our devotion time about Jesus' final days. We will begin tonight going through our Resurrection Eggs. Tomorrow night we will make the Resurrection Cookies.
O is particularly fascinated with talking about Jesus this year. Our church puts on a drama every year about the final days of Jesus, his crucifixion and his resurrection. I love watching it. O - not so much, but it never fails to offer great opportunities for questions.
I found this video of O last year. She was 3 years old and telling us her version of the Easter Story. She gets confused at times and talks about Lazarus - probably because she had just seen that in our drama. Notice how she refers to Lazarus having an operation. In the drama, Lazarus is shown briefly lying on what appears to be a cot or a stretcher while Mary and Martha are crying over his body. This may be where she thought he was getting an operation - ha!

Another observation: I should NEVER talk on video. Ever.
The end.
How will you celebrate Easter?

How precious!!! Loved her story. I'm with you, my own voice on video sounds horrible! I am so Southern!!! I will be at home celebrating Easter with my family. Going to church, fixing dinner for our family and my parents. Enjoying this beautiful weather. Love & blessings from NC!
My favorite of O...:) Could I just squeeze her please?
And I LOVED hearing your voice Deidre~
Have a beautiful Easter!

We used the Resurrection Eggs this year as well. I was impressed by how much my 5 year-old and 4-year-old are remembering. As for the 2-year-old, the way she says Jesus is just sooo precious!
