This year for the week leading up to Easter, we spoke with John about the true meaning of Easter. Let me tell you the 3 year old version of Easter:
One of Jesus' friend was mean and brought the bad people who made Jesus drag a cross. Then they put sharp nails in his hands and feet, which hurt Jesus really bad. Not nice. Then they were mean to Jesus and he died. They put Jesus in a cave and then he was alive again to live in my heart.
There is still a lot for him to understand about the crucifixion of Jesus but I am just happy he understood this much of what we have talked with him about.
We spent Easter at home with my family and it was a wonderful time. John dyed eggs, hunted eggs at school and grandmother's, and he enjoyed WAY too much candy but I guess that a candy is okay on a special holiday! Kelly really had no clue what was going on but we made it a memorable day we can tell her about when she is older. We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!
