We started a new tradition last year on Easter morning. During breakfast, we give our kids an Easter egg and rolled up inside is a Bible verse. This is a verse that we are going to pray over them during the year...a different verse for each kid and one that is relevant to their lives. I print it on a card and hang it in their room in order to help us remember to pray it and to help them remember that we are praying their verse over them. We still did Easter baskets with too much candy and junk, but I'm hoping that we can eventually stop that. We'll see...some things are hard to give up.
And for breakfast, we continued with our tradition of resurrection rolls. I think that these are neat and help keep the focus on what Easter is all about...serving a LIVING Savior!
And just to keep it real...our kids were way more excited about the junk in their Easter baskets than they were about their verses and Carter wouldn't even try to eat his breakfast. We do not have perfect children and we are definitely not perfect parents...we are all just trying to do our best and some days are better than others.
