Even with all this fun stuff, I am grateful that the kid's favorite part of Easter is always the resurrection eggs. Several years ago, we bought a package of plastic eggs that contain little objects that symbolize the different parts of the Saviors last days on Earth. We leave them out for the Easter bunny to hide (along with our dyed eggs) and when we find them all, we tell the story. They love reviewing it every year. 
Easter
I know it is late, but I am finally going to post the pictures from Easter. We had a great Easter this year. We always try to gift them the things that they need for church. Miranda and Hayden got new outfits. Joey got new Sunday shoes and a tie clip. Charissa go new Sunday shoes and a new scripture bag (her old one fell apart). We also decided this year to skip the candy and fill their baskets (bowls) with fruit instead. they loved it just as much as candy and got to eat it right away instead of waiting until after breakfast and Mom's okay.
One of my favorite parts of Easter this year was our primary sharing time. We had the room set up like a court room. Jeff was dressed as a judge. He welcomed everyone and explained what a judge is and what a witness is. Then he told the children that we were going to have some special witnesses come and testify of Jesus Christ. It would be up to the children to judge for themselves whether or not what they say is true. Then we had Mary Magdalene, Peter, Doubting Thomas, Joseph Smith, and Nephi the disciple (from 3rd Nephi) come and share their testimonies. The kids really got into it and it was almost as if those people had actually arranged to make it into our primary to share their stories. It was great.
