We started celebrating Easter on Palm Sunday, following the schedule of Jesus' last week (as suggested in The Friend). So, on Palm Sunday Alec painted palm fronds & cut a picture of Jesus out & glued it to a donkey, then told the story at FHE with my family. We did little crafts like that all week to help him visualize it all better-it was really nice.
We also did a lot of the American traditions:

Putting together a LEGO set from his Easter basket with daddy (he's become a big LEGO fan lately). We tried to get little things for his basket that would be fun to do with family members:
Paul, however, got a load of chocolate (some of it was recycled). After 3 Easter parties Alec had more candy than he had at Halloween! So, Paul got the chocolates, Alec got to pick 4 & we gave the rest away.
Alec just saw me posting these pictures and shouted, "That was me when I was a little boy!"Me-"Alec that was 2 weeks ago!"
Alec-"Yeah, when I was little, but now I'm growed up!"

How fun. That's super cute what Alec said about the pictures of himself!
So fun, Kylie. I can't believe how big James has gotten! It's strange to think that we haven't seen Alec in such a long time, and we've never met James. Thank goodness for pictures so we can still feel like we know these little people:)
