Last night for our family home evening lesson, we opened the glorious gifts that our Savior has given us with these gorgeous nesting envelopes created by Heidi Swapp. As we reflected on the gifts of Easter, the Spirit filled our home.

Then, for our Family Home Evening activity, we made these adorable Easter baskets courtesy of Melissa Esplin. Our children chose the recipients of these Easter goodies and we plan on delivering them in the next few days. Not only are these little baskets absolutely darling, but they are decorated with symbols. {You can find the free printables here.}
{As a little side note: we've made a goal this year to do one service project per month as a family. Last month on Valentine's Day we visited the local care center to sing songs and this month for Easter we will be delivering these Easter baskets.}
UPCOMING TRADITIONS:
This weekend we have plans to decorate Easter eggs, go on plenty of Easter egg hunts, and do a few new traditions that I will post about tomorrow.
What Easter traditions does your family celebrate? Please take a moment to share below - I love to read your ideas!
XOXO,
Jamie
We "spring clean" around the church the day before Easter. Each carries a grocery bag and fills it with whatever they find. It is surprising how much you can pick up as you walk around the church, search behind the bushes, under the trees, in the parking lot.
ReplyDeleteWe also drive in the car up to the highest nearby place and as we watch the sunrise, we talk about the first Easter, using a binder I made years ago using pictures from the Gospel Art Kit and quotes from the scriptures and many prophets. We sing the Easter Hymns and then eat cinnamon rolls and drink juice. A memorable tradition
Those two were my favorite of the #Hallelujah printables. We have traditional Passover foods on Easter.
ReplyDeleteThose little Easter Egg boxes make me smile every time I see them. Thanks so much for sharing them!
