The Reason for the Season

This is why I need help!

The Kids:  When is Easter?
Me:  Coming soon, at the end of this month.  (pointing to the calendar) Question:  What does Easter mean to you?
Gracen:  The Easter Bunny and Egg Hunting
DJ:  No School, Egg Hunting and Jesus will die and come back to earth.
Me:  Ok, I promise to TEACH you guys the real meaning of Easter this month.  We have a LOT to learn and it will be fun, I promise.
The Kids:  Are we going to color eggs and get Easter Baskets too?
*sigh*  I need prayer.

Question:  How do YOU explain Easter to your children?  Please, post your comments.  Thank You.
