The meaning of Easter

I have been telling Elli the Easter Story and haven't been sure Elli was getting it. Today, she saw her Easter basket out with eggs in it in preparation for our Care Group Easter Egg hunt this evening. When she got to preschool, she said to her teacher,, "I have Easter Eggs."
Her teacher asked why. Elli responded, "Because Jesus died on the cross." Her teacher then asked, "Then what happened?" Elli responded, "Then he went to see his people."
Okay, so the eggs don't mean Jesus died, but Easter does. And yes, after he died, he went to see his people. One more simple truth of a complex understanding of God's word. Thank you Ellianna.
