Quarantine Easter 2020

This Easter was very different for many of us. I was praying that the Lord would help us be alone this Easter. God answered in amazing ways on that day. It ended up being such a special day. The kids searched for their Easter baskets and we did an Easter egg hunt in the basement. We had a sweet neighbor drop off a huge basket on our porch of candy and craft supplies for the kids. A couple from our church called us and said for the kids to go outside and they had hid tons of Easter eggs in our front yard.  We didn't even see them do it.  The highlight of the day was driving around to several older people from our church standing in the yard and singing Christ the Lord is risen today. And we also sang His Mercy Is More with some motions that the kids did. We stopped at a few different homes staying very far away but it was so good to see faces and sing that Christ is risen.  The day concluded with a ham and sweet potato dinner as well as doing zoom calls with our families. We made a lamb cake and I made a gluten-free berry pie and other desserts. It was fun to make some extra sweet potato casserole and Jello and take it around to family and drop it off on their porch for their Easter dinner to share our love and our blessings.  we also made an extra lamb cape and some Easter baskets for neighbor kids that we dropped off on porches.  That night we watched Jesus Sight and Sound Easter production.
