I LOVE Spring, sunshine, flowers, new life and Easter. Every year Easter baskets are centered around Christ. There is a scripture with everything in the basket. I want my children to realize the most precious gift they will ever receive is the sacrifice our Savior so willingly gave. I want them to understand the importance of Christs Resurrection. I want reminders all over my house. I don't want my house filled with bunnies and egg decorations, I want Christ centered decorations. I saw a succulent Garden of the Tomb on pinterest and had to do it with my kids. So for FHE we built the garden and talked about the Resurrection. I try as a mom to teach my Children and the lessons never go as I imagine, but I pray that they are soaking in just a little. I hope as they pass by the garden that they will remember the real reason we Celebrate Easter.
We got our succulents at home depot and our pot and rocks and the dollar store. We found bigger rocks in our backyard for the tomb. I was set on drilling out a hole in a rock till my Mom showed me a picture of what the actual Tomb looked like and the structure is more Square than round, so we went with that.
