Easter!

This year for Easter, we had a few different activities. It started with some early Easter crafts in Abby's Mommy & Me class.


What cute bunnies!

Then the Thursday before Easter we had an Easter party at Benji's Pre-school! It was so fun, but I was so busy that I forgot to take pictures. Luckily I was able to steal a few from Yadira. ;)

Look at my Easter Egg!

And we ended with a super fun Easter Egg Hunt

It was a Blast!

Then on Saturday we went to a nearby city Easter Egg Hunt and it was horrible! Way too crowded and my kids only got one egg each. Lindy came too and as you can tell by her face, it was kind of lame. So we decided to go to Walmart and buy some candy and have an egg hunt of our own at my house. That was way more fun and it lasted more than 5 seconds.

Lindy also did great! And she had a lot more fun!

Cute kids!

Later that evening we decorated Hard boiled eggs! Benji was pretty proud of his eggs.

This was a first for Abby so she was especially excited!

Look at our eggs!

The following day, Sunday, was the actual Easter Day. But there were no egg hunts, parties, or chocolates. We had a normal Sunday and after church we talked to the kids about the true meaning of Easter and that is the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. That is why we have Easter, to remember that he overcame death and lived again, that all of us might live again someday! What a glorious thing to celebrate. I hope next year to do something a bit more spiritual and fun on the actual Easter Sunday, but for this year we had fun!
