Happy Easter!We had a great Easter this year. It was Lucas's first "big" holiday with us & we felt especially thankful for him on the Easter holiday as we reflected on its' meaning and purpose. We are so thankful for eternal families!
We had an absolute BLAST coloring eggs with family! We spent the evening with each other gathered around the table for a nice dinner, followed by an egg hunt outside with the nieces, and then topped it off coloring eggs.
My mom always had so many fun traditions for every holiday growing up. For Easter, she made each of us hand-woven baskets, and the night before Easter, we would choose a couch or chair in the family room to place the empty baskets. In the morning, one by one, we would come back out to that same family room and find our baskets filled with candy and small gifts. I wanted to do the same for Lucas, so we put out his basket, and in the morning, he found this giant frog in its' place. He LOVES frogs!
Amrylin, our niece, was so excited about the egg hunt outside. I filled plastic eggs with princess jewlery, bouncy balls, and candy, and then Alex hid them all around the front yard. She had so much fun finding the eggs with her sister, then bringing them in and "cracking" them open to find the surprise inside. Children make holidays so much more FUN!
Our brothers & sisters enjoyed the egg coloring just as much as the little ones! (If you don't believe me, refer to this pic :)
