Early Easter

Easter was early this year and kind of snuck up on us! It reminded me of the year Alex was born because it was in March that year too. I've been told that this year it was almost the earliest that it can be. We had a great time.

We started the festivities on Saturday with the traditional coloring of the eggs at my parent's house. On our way home the kids were talking about how the Easter Bunny was going to be bringing chocolate bunnies to them at our house. I didn't plan on the Easter Bunny making a stop at our house since he usually stops at Grandma and Grandpa's, so I needed to hop on over to Fred Meyer that night to help the Easter Bunny out. The kids woke up and amazingly had chocolate bunnies in their baskets along with some other little things. That bunny also got crafty and purchased some zero gravity eggs. These plastic eggs had the candy in them already and had different types of hangers. Some had suction cups, others string, there were even a few that glowed in the dark. The kids had to get use to looking up and seeing eggs stuck to windows and hung on hooks.

Then we went over to my parents house. The kids found the 23 eggs that the Easter Bunny had hid and found their Easter Baskets overflowing with candy and other presents and of course another chocolate bunny. My mom left for church with us and my dad was off to work.

After church we picked up a breakfast casserole that was cooking at our house and dropped off my mom at her house and we were off to our friend Stef and Jamie's house. They had a nice Easter gathering with a bunch of our friends and their kids and an Easter Egg hunt outside.

We came home and relaxed after our busy morning and then went over to my parent's house for Easter dinner. We had yummy ham.

Thank you everyone for sharing Easter with us!
