During Lent, we had a "Garden of Love," made by Katherine. When either sister did something loving for the other one, they got a flower placed on the "garden." Lots of love recognized.
Easter morning began with a search for baskets, then an egg hunt in the yard. Each plastic egg had a bit of candy in it... and thanks to a friend's idea, the yellow ones were printed with the word, "Allelujia!" and the kids knew that when they found one, they were to shout, "Allelujia!" It isn't clear whether our non-Christian neighbors enjoyed this early-morning reminder of the holiday, but it was a great segue to getting dressed up and off to mass before having dinner at Abuela and Grandpa's house with Anna and other favorite friends.
