Easter Festivities!

This week we had lots of fun celebrating the Easter season and the joys that come with this holiday.  I tried to emphasize to Shayla with each activity why we were celebrating (i.e. Eggs = Jesus's tomb/rebirth, etc).  She seemed to get it but of course was thrilled that the Easter Bunny brought her goodies.  Here were some of our Easter activities this week!

Dyeing Eggs - Mitchell loved to dip his hand in to retrieve all the wet eggs.

Egg Hunt

More Egg Hunt photos!
 

Easter Morning - a Easter egg scavenger hunt to find their baskets!
Shayla shows one of the clues she found.

Basket time (and candy eating)
 

Dressed up for church - best photo I could get - Mitchell not so photogenic these days even when I bribed him with M&Ms - I think he figured he had enough candy already!

Mom and Shayla

Mom and her Easter angels (;

Too bright and no luck - what should I bribe Jon with next time?

Shayla made the table decorations - Peep in egg (she blew eggs out) and Toilet Paper Easter Bunny family

Dinner with Nana and Papa - and playing with their new bubble shooters

...and playing with their new chalk - Nana so kind to let the kids draw her outline!

Tyson caught red handed with Easter grass in mouth - hmm getting into Easter goodies?
