What a great holiday Easter is. It's low key, we get to enjoy some small, fun traditions, and think about the blessings of the resurrection and newness of life. Earlier in the week, one by one, everyone in our family got taken out by a yucky flu bug. Nothing like being really sick to help you appreciate how wonderful it is to feel good! Ava was the last to suffer through the yuckiness. Luckily she felt good on Saturday for our fun family day of Easter Egg Hunts and rolling/throwing of eggs down the hill. The day before was not so good for Ava as you can see from the picture below so we stayed home and did something we haven't done before and dyed our own easter eggs. It was very different for them each to have their own jars of Easter dyes. :)
My mom loves Easter and everything about it- the eggs, bunnies, candies and pretty much anything pastel colored. She makes a good Easter bunny each year. This year she did a cute treasure map thing that was ripped up that the kids had to put together to find the end treasure.
Hiking up the hill to roll/throw down our Easter Eggs. Thanks again Cat- Ava sure is a good "hiker".
Hooray for feeling better!
Isaac got in on the action and had his owen dozen to toss.
Lots of loot!
For the prize from the treasure map the boys got some awesome bubble wand/sword things.
It was a great day!
