We did Easter a little bit differently this year. After church we went to my parents to eat a yummy lunch, and did the Easter egg hunt indoors due to the rainy weather. Brandon and I decided early on that we weren't going to do Easter baskets or make a big deal about the Easter bunny. The boys were like sponges when it came to talking about Easter and Jesus, so we wanted to make sure that they truly understood (as much as 3 and 4 year olds can!) what Easter is really about. In the days leading up to Easter, they had learned about palm Sunday, the crucifixion, and the Resurrection. They learned about it at church and partly at preschool, and we talked about it nightly at home during our night time routine.
Although we want them to understand the true reason we celebrate, we still wanted to let them have fun with an Easter Egg hunt! They had a blast finding all the eggs in the basement. I think Brandon hid close to 75 of them. We save them from year to year, so next year, we'll have well over 100!
Here are a few of the pictures in no particular order, since blogger won't let me rearrange them!
Searching high and low!
I have to beat bubbas!
I had to level the playing field, since we were indoors!
Slowly coming down the stairs for round 2!
I can't wait until next year, when we have Jaxson and our new little one around too! Holidays are going to be a blast with five grandkids!
