HE IS ALIVE!

After last years Easter's egg hunt fiasco, we decided to keep this year's party very small and simple. Last year I made over a hundred banana muffins and boiled about 6 dozen eggs and Scott printed pages that tell the story and stuffed them into plastic eggs. If you don't remember the story from last year, I'll refresh you: while the eggs were being hidden, brats from the neighborhood emptied every plastic egg to get the candy and then high-jacked all the colored eggs so that when the people the party was intended for searched for them, they only got one or two. ERRRR

This year we learned from our mistakes and it was so much more fun!
We dyed eggs together- a very new thing for our friends- they really loved this.

We shared the resurrection story while they ate cake and drank orange juice- and then we played a 'fill in the blank' Easter story on worksheets.

I learned about Egg Rolling from my former co-worker, Aldona. Her family tradition was to roll the boiled Easter Eggs and try to get them closest inside the circle. Notice in the picture above the reddish egg soaring in the air...

Showing off our Eggs-- and Adrian about to jump up to eat mine haha!

Like I said, these are out of order. "I love Fei Yan" (Fei Yan is my Chinese name) Our friends ooohed and ahhhhed when they saw what Scott had written on his egg

Fun with the wax crayon....

Smiling Faces....

Happy Easter! (by the way, In chinese the direct translation of Easter is "Resurrection Day")!
