Easter

Our Easter week has been a long and wonderful week. As a family we started having A Christ Center Easter about 3 years ago. We do a various of things each night to follow the last week of Christ's life. I will try to recap the week after Spring Break. It has been a simple tradition with such wonderful meaning.
Last year I sent out Easter Cards to a few friends. I loved making the cards but after I put them in the mail I had already started to think of what I could send the next year to have the card be more focused on the true meaning of Easter.

So this year I decided to send an empty envelope. I know it sounds crazy. Inside the envelope near the top I put the scripture Mark 16:1-6 on a clear sticker. I hope those who receive the envelope will then be prompted to go to read the scripture which talks about when they looked for Christ but the tomb was empty. I think of how surprised they must have been, fully expecting there to be His body inside. Just like you would never think to open an envelope and have it be empty. I think of how fast the word must have spread after they found the empty tomb - "He Lives, He Lives"
It is a miracle that He lives. It is all apart of the wonderful plan for us all to live again.

Happy Easter

last day of school shirt.

It may be a month away for most but I thought I would drop the idea in your head of doing a last day of school t-shirt for your child to wear to school to have her classmates and teachers sign.

I did everything with iron on transfer paper, even the polka dots and photos from the year. Little ribbon sewn on the bottom.

Some things to iron on the t-shirt

• Mr. Tom is the Best Bus Driver Ever.

• Best 1st grade teacher sign here _________________

• A first grader today a second grader tomorrow.
• Class of 2007
• Ms. Green (principal) rules.... the school

So keep your eye out for a great t-shirt and some transfer paper.

a large t-shirt we do to sleep in the night before Kindergarten. "Kindergarten here I come" you can obviously do this for any grade even teenagers!
