We kicked off our Easter festivities a couple of weeks beforehand with FHE on a Sunday nite (because of Josh's schedule) and made peeps houses! The girls, of course, thought it was pretty great!
The Saturday before Easter, we had our annual neighborhood Easter egg hunt. A neighbor puts it together every year; she had over 900 eggs this year! We all donate prizes and candy, and then the kids are split into three age groups for the hunt. The girls always have a great time. It was windy and cold, but they were troopers!
Our fun didn't end there! After that Easter egg hunt, the girls were treated to another egg hunt courtesy of Kerri. She, Ken, Em, Katelyn, and her two kids Easton and McKayli came over for more Easter fun.
After we spent some time with them, and a quick visit from Grandpa Gary, we were on our own for some egg dyeing. We did 24 eggs, which I thought would have been plenty, but they could have done tons more if we would have had them!
Jabes supervised.
On Sunday, we woke up to find that the Easter bunny had paid us a visit and left some goodies and hid some eggs.
He even helped Santa out and brought some goodies that Santa forgot at Christmas!
Yes, that is Jabes sitting up.
We spent the rest of the day playing with our new goodies, eating yummy food, and watching General Conference. It was a nice, low key day spent together as a little family! We definitely enjoyed the commercial side of things, but it was also wonderful to be able to hear from our prophet and church leaders as we remembered the true reason for Easter: our Savior and His atoning sacrifice. So grateful for our gospel knowledge!
