Easter Sunday

Do you know what I love about Easter baskets? You can fill them with the cheapest toys, and it's still inexpensive, and kids LOVE everything in them. Kids are so easy to please. We could have left Ollie's almost empty and he would have been happy with the grass. I was very happy he never tried to eat it. He just loved grabbing it. Gabe was thrilled, especially when she realized her basket had stuff in it. She then enjoyed hunting for eggs for herself and her brother. We then headed off to church where I taught an Easter lesson, even though it wasn't in the schedule. I think learning about the resurrection on Easter is appropriate, so I taught about it.







These are the kid's Easter clothes. We technically didn't get Ollie a new outfit, cause his sweater vest matched Gabe's. So we called it good. I know it wasn't a spring color, but he looked cute matching his sister. (plus the budget is low with a trip coming up)






Nana made Gabe this cute dress that all the granddaughters are going to wear to Cj's wedding. We already had an Easter dress picked out, but we wanted pictures in this one too.



Later in the day I sent Gabe and Daddy on a scavenger hunt. I gave her clues in Easter eggs that led her all along the house until she found some books at the end of her hunt. She was very fun to watch. I gave clues that led her to Daddy's shoes, or Mommy's pillow, etc. The last clue was in her froggy. Each clue she tried to read by herself. She would make stuff up. Usually something about,"Gabe was walking through the forest. We need to look in the forest." We thought it was great.




Later that night, we enjoyed a yummy Easter dinner. Afterwards we watched the living scripture animated movie, "He is Risen" with Gabe. She was very excited when she saw that Jesus was okay and that he came out of his tomb. Too cute, what a nice day. Hope everyone else had a good Easter.
