Easter Tradition

Taylor had a great idea to carry on a fun family tradition with a little added bonus. Growing up both Taylor and I would have to hunt to find out Easter baskets. Taylor's family would make a string maze (like you see above). The bonus is the teaching analogy. The string represents our existence. There is a world in the middle of the string to represent our mortal life and the string after is our existence here after this life. As we go through our journey there are many ups and downs and obsticles to go around, but if you hold tight and follow the correct path it will lead you to your final reward, eternal life (aka the Easter basket). We hope that our kids will really enjoy this family tradition and help them remember because of the ressurection we are able to live with our families and Heavenly Father forever.
