Post Easter Fun

With a busy weekend, working some consulting hours and the incessant asking for candy, I didn't have time or the energy to dye eggs with the kids or do our own egg hunt at home over the weekend. I took a couple days to recover and on Tuesday after school we finally dyed eggs! 


 


After we dyed the eggs, I hid some plastic eggs upstairs. It was the girls' hardest egg hunt since I color coded them and hid the girls' eggs in hard to find spots. They were rewarded for their efforts!




I love the little things that they enjoy and I hope some of theses memories will last. At dinner that evening, Makena prayed and thanked God for "the egg hunt mommy made." That fills my bucket!

More Easter Fun

On Easter weekend, we took the kids to our city's Eggstravaganza. It felt like the whole city was there! This time, Karis did an egg hunt by herself while Makena and Kyle were in the younger age bracket for the egg hunt. The kids got lots more candy (Mommy boos, kids cheer!). 

After Karis did her egg hunt, I asked her if she wanted to climb the wall. To no surprise, she said yes. After waiting in a long line, she was all strapped up and ready to go. 


She looked so tiny compared to the wall the and the big boys climbing it. 


She climbed up like a champ! She struggled in a couple spots because her little legs could barely stretch to reach the next knot. 



 She made it to the top and rang the bell! 


A high-5 from the Easter bunny!


On Easter Sunday, the girls and I served in the 2-year old class. The kids did another egg hunt and then we all went to service together (even Kyle!). He is Risen!


After church, our friends invited us to their house for lunch and another egg hunt. 





I wonder if any other kids do what Karis does .... She opens her eggs to see what's inside, but makes sure they all go back in the same eggs they came from!


And finally, we went home so Lindsay and Jamie could come hang out with the kids before Lindsay went back to school. They came with birthday gifts for the girls and even a couple things for Kyle. They played their new Shopkins game and then it was time to say good-bye.

Easter Eggs

There were so many Easter egg hunts, both big and small, in our area last weekend. We had planned to take the kids to one but it was rained out. Instead, I sent the girls upstairs and hid some eggs in the family room. I think the girls had just as much fun. Makena actually collected about as many eggs as Karis for the first time. 


      

Kyle happily played with all the empty eggs. He didn't even miss the stickers and candy!
