This is a picture captured right before church. Nathan had early meetings so he was home to help us get ready--so nice! Layla's dress is 3-6 months and I think fits her well. I have always wanted to do something creative for Easter the week leading up to it for kids--like one thing everyday about Jesus. Have you heard of any ideas?
Potty training began today. So far we are 0-4! But I am not freaking out yet. I know it takes some getting used to and this is when I really appreciate tiled floors.
I also got my first filling today:(. It wasn't as bad as I thought. Luckily Nathan numbed me up really well.

I got some big golden eggs at walmart and I am giving them to them with a message inside about the easter gift that Jesus gave them and asking them to write something they can do as a gift to him everyday. When they go to put their gift to him in the egg everyday this week there will be a treat inside and a note thanking them for their gift to Christ.
i've also done this before

We do something similar. Easter is so hard b/c the Easter Bunny is so far from the Resurrection. So, last year, I got a bag of Easter eggs. I filled each one with a picture that related to the Real meaning of Easter. I put a few jelly beans in there too b/c they got them more excited about opening them. Then, each day we opened a couple and talked about what each picture meant and how it related to the Resurrection and what Jesus did for us. The kids really liked it, and it dumbed it down to their level. Plus, they got candy, so they loved it! By the way, I got just used pictures of sugardoodle.net
This pic is absolutely the cutest
