Grace on Easter

This conversation happened on the way home from church yesterday. The last few weeks they have been talking about Easter and the crucifiction and they even showed some kind of video of the crucifiction. We have also been talking about WHAT Easter is really about. Although we color eggs and they'll get baskets, I want them to understand the vital importance to our Core Belief in Salvation. So the following conversation ensued (I wish I had it on video!)

Mommy: Grace, what is Easter about?
Grace: It's when the God Jesus hung up on the wock. There was blud. Lot's of blud. Then he died.

She almost always calls God, "the God" but the conversation went on from there. We talked about how he rose again and why he died, but really, she was pretty fixated on the "blud." It must have been a graphic movie. Oh, how I wish I could keep her in this sweet, innocent, and adorable phase for about three more years!

Gracie is a doll baby! She really is just a special little girl. I can't wait to see the girls at Easter. Give them hugs and kisses from Oma

What a sweetie. Abe's deep moment yesterday was counting to thirty... as we told the story of Judas betraying Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. Maybe Gracie could explain a few more things to him...
