Our Easter weekend started on Saturday with coloring eggs. Joey put a couple of eggs in the colors, but she wasn't as interested as Jack was. Once we got all of the eggs colored, we waited for them to dry and added some stickers. We really didn't do much else as far as special Easter fun on Saturday. But on Sunday morning...the real fun began...
When they woke up, we went downstairs to see what the Easter Bunny had brought them. Jack had a pirate basket full of candy, and also a Dusty helmet. Joey had her own basket of candy and a new baby doll stroller. She immediately went for the stroller and started pushing around her baby. Jack loved looking at his new helmet, but actually putting it on and getting it buckled was a little bit of a struggle. After a sad face, a few tears, and a nice talk, Jack was finally ok with wearing his helmet. Quite a way to start Easter. The kids had a little fun playing while I made waffles for breakfast. We had a nice breakfast and then once everything was cleaned up, we went out in the front yard for the easter egg hunt. Jack was racing around trying to get all the eggs, and Joey needed a little help understanding what she was supposed to do. Kyle ended up holding her basket while she slowly picked up the eggs, shook them a few times, and then very slowly stuck them in her basket. After we gathered all the eggs, it was time to go inside and get ready for church. But we did sneak a few pieces of candy in before we left :)
After we got home from church, Joey took a nap and the rest of us got dinner ready. We had a nice dinner of teriyaki steak, rice, and corn on the cob. Yum! We spent a portion of the afternoon just relaxing and letting the kids play, and then went out to ride bikes. Jack had his new helmet to try out, and Joey always enjoys getting in her little princess car. The kids didn't last too long outside, but we all enjoyed the afternoon together. We had a great Easter and we hope you did too! Happy Easter!!
