    I'm always looking for things to enrich my kids' holidays. Thanks for the list.
    Have you ever heard of A Christ Centered Easter? I HIGHLY recommend it! It has all kinds of activities for all ages and they all center around Christ. You have to try it!

    Last time I looked at your list of holiday books for children I ended up spending 75 bucks to get my hands on one of them in time for Chrstmas! Remember?

    PS. I wasn't sorry, either...

    You are fantastic! Do you think a slightly insane, short attention span-ned, hyper 3 year old would sit through these books? Not all at once obviously :) Sometimes he surprises me but... not often :P
