Easter FHE

We had a home evening about Easter tonight where I hid an egg with a picture of Jesus in it for Natalie to find and then we talked about what Easter is really all about. Here is our ending conversation.

Me: "So Natalie, is Easter all about candy or is Easter about Jesus?"


Natalie: "Candy."


Me: "No, Easter is all about Jesus. The candy is a lot of fun, but we have Easter because of Jesus. Natalie, is Easter about candy or about Jesus?"


Natalie: "Candy."


Nate: "She's not paying attention to you. She's just kinda doing whatever."


Me: (taking Natalie's face in my hands and looking right at her) "Natalie, Easter is not about candy. Easter is about Jesus. We like to get candy at Easter, but Easter is all about Jesus. Natalie, is Easter about candy or is Easter about Jesus?"


Natalie: (very definite) "Candy."

Oh well, we will try again next year...
