This Easter season, I have tried to keep the emphasis off of the commercialism of the holiday and on the real meaning of why we celebrate Easter. Don't get me wrong. We still do plenty with Easter eggs and the Easter bunny, but I didn't want that to overshadow our celebration of Christ's resurrection. When I came across this Easter Story Countdown out in blogland, I was so excited and knew that I had to give it a try.
I filled all of the eggs yesterday during naptime. When Hannah got up, she was SO excited to see Easter eggs on the table! It took some explaining to get her to buy into only opening one egg each night at dinner. We did let her open egg #1 a little early since she was so excited. She's done a great job so far of not attempting to open any more of the eggs. Even though this may still be a bit over her head for her age, I'm looking forward to the anticipation of opening a new egg each night and making the Easter story a bit more tangible.
