We awoke to find the Easter bunny had been to our home. Eggs were all over the hallway and the floor. The bunny had left a note that each child had a certain color of eggs to find. Jayden and Jacob had candies and gum in their eggs. Luke had teddy grahms and fruit chews in his. The kids opened their eggs and combined all their candies. They also got some goodies in their Easter baskets from the bunny and a couple things from mom and dad. Jayden informed me she has the Easter bunny figured out.
We had a nice egg casserole breakfast, then got ready for church. We talked to the kids about the importance of Easter and Jesus dying on the cross for our sins. We have a set of resurrection eggs that we pull out each Easter. There are 12 eggs that represent Jesus’ journey and resurrection. It is so neat and the kids look forward to opening one egg each night before bed.
After church we had a busy day ahead. We went to Grammer and Po Po’s for Easter dinner with the Anderlik’s and Ferrari’s. It felt a little rushed and Karen wanted the kids to get in on the candy hunt too. The kids ran around the yard gathering candy pieces. Then it was on to my brother Wade’s for Alivia’s second birthday party. Her birthday happened to fall on Easter this year. They had a family party in Wade’s big shop. They had tons of food, but we were so full from lunch and she wanted to serve supper at 4. Alivia was so cute as she blew out her candles and opened her many gifts. Jayden got to play with Santanna and Luke with Alivia.
It was a nice Easter, but I felt like it was too much in one day. Easter turns into such a party it is easy to get lost in all the festivities and forget the true meaning.
