Spring has sprung here in Astoria! Yesterday we celebrated with the Astoria Ward children; ages 2 to 12. Amber organized an eggs-tra special breakfast of muffins, juice, and fresh fruit and then we joined together in the Primary room for a short lesson about this beautiful time of the year. Heidi taught that bunnies, eggs, flowers, and baby birds are all signs of newness and Spring.
Easter is about Jesus Christ, how he died for our sins on the cross and was Resurrected from the tomb three days later. Heidi shared her testimony and said how thankful she is for Jesus and that because of Him we will all live again.
We were pleased to see how many of the children participated and understood the most important reason we celebrate Easter.
Chas and I were asked to help with "the craft." We talked about how we plant seeds in the Spring with faith. If we water, weed, and feed them we will harvest flowers, fruits and vegetables. Then we helped each child make a Spring treat, with crushed Oreo dirt, chocolate pudding, where we planted M&M seeds, more pudding, gummi worms and flowers!
Ronin was pretty serious about picking just the right worm for his treat!
Happiness!
More happiness!
We had as much fun as the kids, watching their Moms and Dads. Kristy knows how to get attention! She is a pro with children.
Everyone helped, visited and had a wonderful time.
There were relay races....hopping bunnies....

and more hoppers!
Fishing in the Spring was a big hit. The first time Ronin cast his line, he pulled out and old shoe. He and all watching hooted!
He was so delighted when he recast and scored BUBBLES, the perfect Springtime treat!
Kristy directed the Bunny Bean Bag Toss.
They each had 8 bean bags to throw!
Gavin was pretty egg-sited!
Another relay with teams...Deliver the egg Race...on your mark, get set, go!
Steady....
Hurry...you're almost there!
Ada did not want to smile for me, but I love her Springtime-doo!
We all had lots of fun!
Friends, non-member friends, all kinds of new faces were at the party. We missed the finale, the Easter egg hunt, because we had our zone meeting. Thanks to all the Astoria Ward parents who did such a great job of providing a sweet memory for all!
