The boys started Easter weekend out with filling plastic eggs with three different kinds of candy. Each boy got to put in a different candy in the eggs. Of course candy was left over so they enjoyed several pieces each as well.
Then we moved onto hard boiled eggs....and the boys got to sponge on some easter egg dye to a dozen eggs. Of course this was fun, but definitely alot more mess involved. We all had a beautiful array of colored fingers when finished.
Then because it was so beautiful out we went outdoors for the easter egg hunt. Nick and I hid ONLY the candy filled eggs. The boys enjoyed looking for them around the front of the house, but man....I think we either need to not hide them so well, or our boys need to actually look for them and not expect them to pop out at them!!
This picture is actually NOT at our house, its a Grandma Waibel's house for her easter egg hunt, but I LOVE that nick caught his little expression of PURE JOY as he found an easter egg!! Priceless!!
Of course Easter isn't about the eggs and the hunts we have, its about Jesus our Savior who rose from the dead three days after he died! How he was hung on a cross to shed his blood (that ultimate sacrifice of sins for us) so that we can have a hope of heaven someday!! May we always remember the real reason we celebrate Easter!!
