resurrection eggs

we have used these resurrection eggs for the past few years as a family to help tell the story of Jesus' death and resurrection during the week or so leading up to Easter. as far as Easter eggs go, i could take them or leave them, but it is fun for the kids to get to open them one by one to find something tangible inside that they can hold in their hands and recall another piece of the story.

funny moment: tonight we were doing this, and as part of our discussion about the suffering Jesus endured for us, i asked Levi (who was too busy wiggling and being silly to listen very well) how that made him feel inside. his answer? long pause..... then "the Jews". oooookay, let's try again tomorrow night.
