Ella's "He Is Risen" Party

Ella's Mothers Day Out class had their "He is Risen" party today to celebrate Easter with the kids. The kids always love parties mainly because they always get some kind of sweet treat! For the party, each kid got to make a sticker scene of the empty tomb, the cross, Jesus, and some other items. We played "Pin the Flower on the Cross" ( you can get a glimpse of it in the background). At the end, we let the kids decorate cookies with icing, jelly beans and sprinkles. After four parties this year, we have found out that each kid needs their own bowl of icing and their own knife to spread it. Reason being--they spend most of the time licking the plastic knives and sticking them back in the bowls! We had a great time! Here's a pic of Ella with a few of her buddies -- Hudson is one of her favorites because she sees him at school and church.


Audrey loves to go to the parties too. This pic was taken right before she leaned over and tried to grab Micah's cookie. He was not a happy camper about that!
