Easter Fun!

Easter was a fun and hectic day! We were able to get everything ready for church and the service went well. I did the Resurrection Eggs with the kids in Children's Church. It was great reminding them of why we really celebrate Easter--Christ rising from the dead!

After church we went over to Chad's parent's house. We visited, the kids did an egg hunt and we enjoyed a delicious meal. Charity and her family joined us for the egg hunt. The kids had a grand time.

Chad worked with Marth and Jaina on climbing the stairs since we don't have any at our house. They had so much fun and it wasn't long before they were racing up the stairs!






The egg hunt pictures are a little out of order, but here they are.


Cora won second place for the most eggs found in the younger age group (4 and under)! She had 28 eggs and won a roll of pennies.


Sabra won first place for the younger age group! She had 31 eggs and won $2.


Dara won first place for the older age group (5 and up). She had 39 eggs and won $2. Cole won second place with 35 eggs.


Here is the whole gang after finding the eggs.


We did a scavenger hunt with the eggs first. The kids all worked together to figure out the clue of where to go next. They each got 2 eggs at each spot. They emptied the eggs of their loot (coins, candy, chalk) and then the men re-hid the eggs for another traditional egg hunt.


Daddy carried Martha during the scavenger hunt. Papa filled her basket for her.


Nana carried Jaina and Papa filled her basket too.

The family Easter basket contained new tights for the girls, raisins, chocolate Nature Sunshine bars, fun character band-aids,Little House on the Prairie Season 7, Veggie Tales Easter Carol, and two Air Bud movies.

My parents sent the girls gifts for Easter since we couldn't see them. They each got a book, coloring books, or activity book.
