Good Friday

This morning the kids and I are off to a local shrine, to walk through the outdoor Stations Of The Cross. It's amazing to me how even 4 and 6 year olds can be so reverent and understanding of the season of Lent, and particularly of Good Friday, if you simply take the time to explain things in simple terms. The girls have given up dessert two times a week as their Lenten Sacrifice, and Beth has learned so much in school about Holy Week, which she in turn explains to Amy. I'm proud of them all, and it definitely makes Easter Sunday much more meaningful for the girls.

Of course, the Easter Bunny is still quite a priority around here, and they are looking forward to decorating eggs tomorrow afternoon! I'll try to post some pictures of their decorating endeavors.
