Resurrection Eggs & Other Easter Prep

Absolutely no post about "Easter Prep" would be complete without paying homage to "Resurrection Eggs," the absolute BEST Easter preparation tool I have ever seen! Both Leia Rose and Annie (but especially Annie while Leia was at school) would play this "game" with me every single day, multiple times a day. We began the year with the original twelve eggs all telling the story of Jesus' passion in a novel way (with a little item inside each egg). The girls would hide them, then find them in order and open them to reveal the all-important story. We did it inside and, as you can see here, we did it outside, too. By mid-March, the girls knew it all by heart, so Mamma changed it up by adding six more eggs to make things more interesting. But, of course, the girls and I dyed a few eggs ourselves, too. We even had a little visitor in one of our Easter baskets (mostly because he enjoyed a good chew). : )

Great plan to color eggs outside! I don't think we ever lived in a climate conducive to that -- even St. Louis.
