This is going to be somewhat of an all inclusive blog highlighting our Easter activites the past few days. I had meant to do separate posts for each thing, but when it comes down to it, I'm just lazy and decided to put them all in one.
Our Easter festivities started out with some fun activities with the cousins at Nana and Papa's house on Thursday. The kids had a blast, they
decorated easter eggs,
decorated easter buckets,
and did an easter egg hunt (in the house since it was a bit windy and rainy, but they didn't mind at all!).
One of the best parts of the day was having Aunt Kylie (affectionately known as Aunt Awa) there with us. She had spring break and was able to be with us on our "get together" day, we miss her when she's not with us!
Also, I
stole a few of these pictures from my other sister since she was more diligent with the camera than I was - hope you don't mind Michelle!
It was such a fun day - thanks Nana and Papa for the fun time, they had a blast!
After such a fun day at Nana and Papa's, we almost didn't even need Easter - almost. The kids had such a fun time on Sunday morning. The Easter Bunny dumped a whole bunch of loot at our house.
Zach's stash:
These are his gifts from the Easter Bunny
Since Jeremiah and I have so much fun buying the kids things, we got them a few little gifts for Easter too.
Hailey's stash:
These are her gifts from the Easter Bunny
And her gifts from Jeremiah and I.
They had an absolute blast finding the easter eggs the Easter Bunny filled and left for them. We left out special sport ball eggs for Zach and special hearts/flowers/etc. eggs for Hailey.
It was evident that the kids are getting better at finding the eggs, so the Easter Bunny needs to step up next year and hide them a little bit better. I think it took them all of about 15 seconds to find each of their 12 eggs, definitely not very challenging!
After we let the kids play with their toys for a bit, had breakfast, and got ready for church, I made everyone sit down for a few quick pictures. I try to do this once or twice a year to get some family pictures of all of us. After much arm twisting and threatening, I got Jeremiah to agree.
The kids took somewhat less convincing to pose on their own.
They looked so cute in their church clothes that just happened to coordinate. That happens very little since I usually let them choose what they want to wear.
So that's the end of my ridiculously long Easter post. Regardless of how long the post is, we had a great holiday and hope you all had a wonderful day as well.
