This is our 4th year trying to make Easter week as anticipated and memorable as Christmas. At this age it is hard to compete with Santa Claus and the decorations, but we're not going for spectacular so I guess it is an investment in a deeper understanding of what the Savior's life was about; why his birth was such a big deal in the first place.
Today we acted out the Triumphal Entry after discussing the symbolism of the palm, and why he rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. After raiding my mom's dishtowel drawer for costumes there was some fighting about who got to be Jesus, a short lecture on how we can "be Jesus" in the way we treat others, and then the pageantry went on!
