Easter Happenings

This year we decided to fly out to Maryland to visit the in-laws for Easter. The kids had a great time.

Saturday we went to a community Easter egg hunt. The waiting around was killer.

Ian was pretty happy to finally get in and start picking up eggs.

Many were found, and plenty of hard boiled, which we weren't sure how long they were sitting out in the sun so the kids just whacked em against this tree stump. It was a little consolation for not finding a special egg that won a basket of prizes.

In the evening, the traditional dyeing eggs.

So many pretty colors.

Easter morning, the bunny left a trail to the window where he left baskets of goodies. Zoey got lots of stickers and paper, right up her alley.

Ian got some Chuggington trains and stickers. That Easter bunny sure knows those kiddos.

After church, MaMaw's super egg hunt!

Zoey finds a special confetti egg.

The kids were most excited about this hunt, no real other competition or confusion.

So many eggs to find, I'm pretty sure there are still some out there.

We got to participate in so many Easter activities this year, it was great fun for everyone. While bunnies and eggs are great Easter traditions, I'm so grateful for my Savior's sacrifice and suffering. Without him we would have no way to return to our Heavenly Father. What a glorious celebration we can remember his Resurrection and all the gifts that are a result of that.
