Easter festivities!

Something I have been worried about this year with our new baby on the way is that Sydney won't get an Easter experience...church, the eggs, etc. The secretary at my school had suggested a church in town that has Easter activities, including an Easter egg hunt, the weekend before Easter. So we went there yesterday morning. It took Sydney awhile to get the hang of it but she found quite a few eggs!

Sydney and Dad--it was a little breezy and chilly!

After the "hunt" we went to the sanctuary of the church where there was a puppet show explaining the true meaning of Easter. Fortunately for us, one of the puppets was a Princess (Syd's new infatuation) and another was a donkey (she loves any animals!). It was a great puppet show and really held her attention!



Next we went to the arts and crafts area where Sydney and Daddy colored a butterfly to represent new life by following and loving God.
Our last station was the games! Sydney and Daddy got to play Duck-Duck-Goose (much to Joe's dismay :) ) and then I took a turn playing an egg relay game with Sydney. She had such a good time!
Last but not least--she wanted to "drive" the huge (albeit kind of creepy) bunnies in front of the entrance.

Happy Easter everyone!
