Easter

Growing up my parents wanted to keep the Easter Bunny separate from the resurrection of Christ so we did our Easter baskets Saturday mornings.  We do the same thing with our kids.

Easter weekend was super busy.  The kids woke up Saturday morning to find their baskets and hidden eggs in the yard.  Brett and I got up at 7 to hide the eggs.  :)  They had fun looking through their baskets and then heading out for their egg hunt.

We don't give them too much in their baskets but like to give them a few things to start off Spring like chalk and some books along with a little candy.

This girl loves these little Beanie Boo's that have big eyes.  She got a little bunny with a tutu.  :)

A chocolate bunny is a must

Books and a journal

Then they went hunting

Luke needed a little assistance getting his egg.  haha

We divide the eggs by color for the search so they get an even amount.  This year Luke had yellow and blue eggs and Lily had purple and pink eggs.  I think it makes them search a little more because they have to find certain colors and not just any egg.

Later that afternoon our church had their annual Eggstravaganza.  They have bounce houses, petting zoos, and a big egg hunt.  This year they added an Easter Journey area where they walked you through the life of Christ.  It was amazing!

Sunday morning we went to church and came home for lunch at our house with my in-laws.  I love to make holidays special so the kids helped me make some special desserts.  We made bunny cupcakes and brownie nests and I made bunny ice cubes.

Grammy and Poppa brought the kids confetti eggs and after lunch the kids could not wait to go outside and crack them inch other.

Then they moved on to Daddy and Poppa

It was a great weekend with lots of family time!
