Has Easter Come Early?

Well, today I had a surprise for Leia Rose when we got home from school today: I brought out the Easter baskets and, more importantly, the "Resurrection Eggs." Last year, I found this neat activity that contains 12 plastic eggs, with items revealing Jesus' passion. It's a great way to recap during Lent, and lots and lots of fun (not to mention great practice for Easter morning)! In the picture, Leia Rose is holding the item from one of the final eggs: linen, representing the linen Jesus was wrapped in after His death and left behind at the Resurrection. Maybe we should make this be part of our nightly family prayer time during Lent? Maybe.

By the way, doesn't Leia rose look about 11 years old in this picture? . . . must have been that hug from Sister Catherine. Ha! ; )
