Easter Fun

Jack has had fun enjoying all the activities he was too young for last spring like an Easter egg hunt & dying eggs!

Tyler began his 2 week vacation (halleluja), however, we are going to miss out on some fun Easter things next weekend!  We've been celebrating a bit early.

The weather around here has been crazy!  A beautiful spring day one day & today it's freezing and we've had a few snow flurries.  This past weekend it was cold and overcast.

 

Since this was Jack's first Easter egg hunt, I tried to prepare him beforehand and show him eggs & his basket at home. Luckily, he was on the "little kid" side & there weren't too many kids so it was a very slow pace....thankfully for Jack. He would pick up an egg, open it to see what was inside & either put it directly in the basket or put its contents in the basket & drop the egg on the ground. Too funny.

 

He made sure that he wasn't done until every egg was empty or had been picked up.  He had a full basket & enjoyed admiring his finds (mainly marshmallows, Lucky Charms cereal, & a few peices of candy).

 

 

Sunday afternoon we decided to decorate and dye a few eggs.  I have not done this in years but it was made easy with the cups & dye tabs.  I did most of the dirty work but Jack loved looking at the eggs in the dye & pointing to all the different colors.  I let him pick colors and put a few eggs in.

 

We gave him his Easter basket early so he could enjoy its contents this week while we are away (& so the basket does not have to go with us).  He saw it sitting on the counter & immediately wanted to play with everything that was inside.  He also got some special presents from family that he LOVES!

 

 

Of course the most important thing about Easter is not the egg hunts, egg dyeing, or Easter bunny, but teaching Jack what it meant for God to send his only Son to die on the cross for our sins and that He has risen! We look forward to teaching him these lessons this year and for many years to come.
