EASTER

Still catching up on blogs =) ...

Easter was a lot of fun, as is any holiday spent with our families and the little ones! =) A week before Easter we started with our town Easter egg hunt and Keaton had a lot of fun looking at the animals and hanging out with his friends. As you can see the eggs were really hard to find, haha, so he got bored pretty quick and was ready to go once he had about 20 eggs. =)

Karter came along for the ride!

Easter weekend we went to my sisters house and dyed eggs with all Keaton's cousins. He was really in the zone when he was coloring the eggs! He wanted nothing to do with swirls, stickers or mixing colors. He wanted each egg one whole color and that was it, he took it very seriously. hehe!

Mommy put stickers on this one, but only this one!

Sunday the kids did great at church and then it was a packed day at my parents house for lunch, then off to Kyle's parents house for dinner. All in all Keaton had a total of 4 egg hunts, whew! Among the egg hoopla we did get across the real reason for Easter to Keaton and enjoyed reading his Easter book about Jesus!

Hope you had a wonderful Easter too!!

Happy Easter!!

I always think of Christmas as the big religious holiday, the main event if you will. But this Easter I've really been thinking about the true meaning of this holiday and I'm just in awe! What an amazing God!! Just imagining that day and how the people of Christ rejoiced when they learned of his resurrection! What a great day that must have been! =)

I'm very determined to teach my kids the true meaning of each religious holiday instead of just focusing on Santa or the Easter Bunny. Of course I love those parts too and they will be a huge part of our celebrations but I want to read my kids the stories from the Bible and really make sure they know why we have these special holidays. Keaton is of course a little young to understand and he just thinks it's cool that he gets to look for eggs and throw them in his basket! =) We did take him to church with us this morning and he did great! He even got some compliments from people around us about what a good boy he was.

Keaton had 3 egg hunts this year. One with a playgroup earlier in the week, one yesterday at my sisters house with his cousins, and then one today at Kyle's brothers house. He had a blast at all of them and got some yummy candy and snacks! I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! God bless yall!!
