Easter is sneaking up quickly this year!  Here are links to three of my posts from last year with many ideas for a fun and meaningful celebration and ideas for the days leading up to Easter.

Resurrection Egg Scavenger Hunt

Christian Easter Links

Easter/Spring Ideas

Here’s a new idea I found from the wonderful ladies on the Five In A Row Message Boards last Easter.  Each member of your family privately writes down on a piece of paper the sins they struggle with.  Sometime before Easter, you nail the papers to a wooden cross, only to find the sins gone and a purple cloth on the cross on Easter morning!   Here is a link to that thread.

Besides the wooden cross, our plans from Palm Sunday to Easter this year include:

* This week-long devotional from Christianity Today.

* Resurrection Rolls and/or Easter Cookies

* Resurrection Baskets – I will come up with my own version blending these ideas:  basket one,  basket two (in Julie’s first post)

* Leaf Print Eggs

* A few favorite books:  The Tale of Three Trees,  Rechenka’s Eggs,  Easter Bunny, Are You For Real? , The Parable of the Lily .

I hope your Easter prepartations are meaningful, fun and make a huge impact with your children this year!!
