Maddie joined us in bed around 6 Easter morning. I nudged Kevin awake so he could hurry and go hide the eggs outside for the hunt. The kids also planted jelly belly's the day before and wouldn't you know suckers appeared in their place:) By 6:15 both kids were awake and ready to see if the Easter Bunny had come come. We ran to the kitchen and the kids were excited with what they found. They both received several games, small toys, and lots of fun candy! They immediately wanted to go outside and find some eggs. They loved finding the suckers and Turner was a much better competitor this year when it came to finding eggs!
We then got ready for Church and headed there to celebrate the day!! After church we headed to my parents for a delicious lunch and I brought my homemade caramel apple pie! Everything tasted great and the kids went on another egg hunt where they received more candy and money. Mimi had bought Resurrection Eggs. Her plan was for Maddie to give everyone an egg, and we were supposed to open it and say what it means. After you opened and explained all the eggs, you have told the Easter story. Well, proudly, Maddie knew what each one was and she told us all the Easter story by herself.....about 5 times:) So glad that they already are learning the true meaning of these holidays. We do Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny because they are fun, but our kids do know the true meaning and importance of these holidays!!! I do think you can do both, but that would be a whole different post.....
It was a good day spent with family! We spent the rest of the afternoon at home playing and being lazy! Where Kevin had to take off a few days last week, it was nice to be able to stay at home and prepare for what will hopefully be just a normal busy week!
