As with my Christmas Book List,  I will be blogging about the crafts that we make and activities that we do to go along with each Easter story shown here.  I will show you one every day this week to kick off our Easter blog party.  If you knew what amazing guest posts and really priceless Easter ideas await you, you'd probably sleep with your laptop next to your bed so you wouldn't miss a thing.  

So TUNE IN...and please let everyone know where the party's at by adding my blog button and blogging about it!  After this month, you will never be able to complain about there not being enough Christ-centered Easter traditions...ever...ever...again.

I promise.
