WARNING: Early exposure to the Chronicles of Narnia books to young children, particularly before the age of seven, and in large doses (i.e. the whole series) may create a life long love of learning, reading, and fantasy. Other side effects may include:
He or She forever loving the world of Narnia
He or She always loving fairy tales, myths, and/or any other fantasy books.
He or She loving the movies, and watching an average of two per month.
He or She Enjoying fantasy so much they will read many other fantasy books before they are twelve. Some of these books might include: The Lord of the Rings, The Dark is Rising, A Wrinkle in Time, and/or Harry Potter.
He or She may also inspire siblings to start reading the Narnia series, including Eight year old sisters.
The many uses of Narnia:
The Books:
The Lion the Witch, and the Wardrobe is a great book for an eight year old girl book club (we'll see how that one turns out)
It is a good book to read when you are board.
When you have a few days, you should always take the opportunity to read the whole series.
The Lion the Witch, and the Wardrobe is a wonderful allegory of the Resurrection.
The Last Battle can make you cry.
C. S Lewis is an amazing author.
All of the books are absolutely amazing.
The Movies:
The Lion the Witch, and the Wardrobe is a great Christmas movie.
The Lion the Witch, and the Wardrobe is a great movie to watch on Easter morning.
Prince Caspian is a great movie to watch Easter Evening.
You can feel the spirit while watching The Lion the Witch, and the Wardrobe on Easter on Easter morning as much as when you later watch general conference.
All the Narnia movies are great Christmas or birthday presents, and when you are a younger, very nice presents from the Easter Bunny.
They are great movies to watch on the way to Utah.
They are great movies to watch with you cousins.
The BBC versions are also great to watch with your cousins. After you finish Prince Caspian, even if it is after 9:30pm, your father and uncle will be begging to watch the next one.
Note: All warnings and advice are from personal experience, and may not be the same for you.

Easter Season
I love Easter, Spring, and every thing about the two. Here some Eastery/Springy things we have been doing this year!
I made this tomb out of salt dough, then I went in our back yard and found some of these beautiful plants! (really, most of them are weeds, but I puled up anything I thought was pretty!)
After seeing this Chick on Martha Stewart, I thought that it was really cute, so I tried making it! I think it turned out really well, but I had to use a few substitutes, such as scrapbook paper instead of patterned cloth. I made this one for my choir director, I hope she likes it!
This is my Easter Basket, which I've had for years since I was little. This year, I rapped the handles of my basket with silk scarves, to make it brighter.
This is a Picture from when I was about 2 1/2 (I'm on the right.) See, I have the same Easter basket!Also in the picture, is one of my best friends, Emily. We are still good Friends.
These are some graphics I made on the computer. I printed them on sticky backed-paper, so now there stickers! Were going to put them in Easter eggs for an Easter Egg hunt at my Grandparents house tomorrow and my Mom might use them for her CTR 5 class. They turned out really cute!
And of course... Easter Egg dyeing! This year we just used the little coloring tablets, but last year we made our own natural dye out of berries, orange peel, and lemon peel. 
Here are SOME of the finished eggs. (With out thinking to much, I boiled FORTY-TWO EGGS, plus, the 12 I already had from Girl Scouts.(cheeks blushing.) I think the finished Eggs are really pretty, and we had a lot of fun dying them. Wow, that's 54 eggs! (I just now did the math.) Luckily, I can bring deviled eggs to my Grandparents house!
