Happy Easter

We've had a full Easter weekend this season. It started off with Megan bring home her class project of her own little bunny basket. It kind of got both kids all excited for the events to come.

Then on Saturday we head out to Ken and MarGene's and got a surprise invite to a community Easter Egg Hunt. It was a bit rainy but the kids hardly noticed once the hunt began. I'd say there were around 125 kids or so all scrambling around to find little Easter egg treasures. It was great fun. The kids each got to take 12 eggs home and loved it. There was even an Easter Bunny out to visit the site. We didn't get a chance to sit with him as he was swarmed with children and neither kids would want to wait in line. It was still a great event.

After that hunt we headed back to Ken and MarGene's house for another Easter egg hunt by Grandma and Papa.

That was equally as fun as the one before it and much less crowded. I think they both enjoyed the hunt the most and of course getting to eat the rewards. It is always fun to hunt Easter eggs with candy and toys.

A huge thank you to Ken and MarGene for the two Easter Egg hunts. The kids really had a ton of fun. Megan said she had an awesome time and loved it. While we were there we also got a little babysitting so Jeff and I could go out for his belated birthday dinner and a movie. We really appreciate it. We rarely get to get out just the two of us so it was really nice for us.

For Easter morning Jeff made the kids bunny and egg shaped pancakes. Then they headed for a quick bath to wash off all the sticky before the family Easter experience began. It all happened sort of differently then I had planned but worked out for us. While the kids bathed we got everything ready for them. Fresh out of the bath the kids then went on their third Easter egg hunt and had just as much fun as the first time. Then they went on the treasure hunt that Jeff planned out searching for clues to find their baskets. Megan really loved this part. It was truly the thrill of the hunt for her. Andrew just tagged along and smiled the whole time.

The kids are currently checking out their baskets and having a fun morning. In a bit we will begin to get ready for church. It will be nice to go get the spiritual side of Easter and for the kids to learn the true meaning. I think it is the perfect way to end our Easter weekend. I think this is the first time that we've actually done so much so it will be nice to slow things down a little. A big Happy Easter to all our family and friends!!
