We had a great Easter! Yesterday morning we went to our church egg hunt and enjoyed cinnamon rolls, face painting, a visit from the Easter Bunny and lots of egg hunting. Here are the boys showing off their loot after we got home.
Yesterday afternoon we dyed eggs.
This morning we woke up and the boys were excited to check out their Easter baskets. They both got a new Bible and the new scripture lullabies CD, and of course candy. Now that Jack can read we got him a New International Reader’s Version bible, which is a little easier translation for new readers. He was really excited and was sure to take it to church.
Henry dumped his jelly beans and Reece's pieces into his bucket and then decided the best way to eat his candy was by sticking his head in it.
Then it was time for pictures before church.
After church we went to Aunt Sherry’s (or Cherry Sue’s if you ask Henry) for lunch and a big egg hunt. Here are the boys and Kate.
Henry discovered he loves Jello eggs and devoured three (and brought home a baggie with five more in it).
Next up was the egg hunt! We only had three kids hunting eggs this year, compared to 12 or 13 we used to have when we were little. But I think we still had the same number of eggs… the boys got so many, and so much candy. At least 5 pounds of candy!
Aside from the sweets and candy, we talked about Jesus and the real reason for Easter. Jack is starting to understand the story and it was fun to listen to him explain Easter to Henry. They only got in one argument about if it was Jesus or God who died on the cross.
