We found a local church in our neighborhood that gathers the kids to teach them the Easter story before hosting an egg hunt. The boys loved it and so did mom and dad.
Then it was time for the hunt:
The highlight of the Easter egg hunt was that when Cooper was opening his eggs there was an empty one. He opened it, looked up and said: "The tomb is empty!!! I got the "empty tomb egg"!!!"
The boys also got to go to Gaga Linda's house for an egg hunt and lunch.
When they returned from Gaga Linda's house, their gifts for Easter were waiting for them.
2 big baskets of toys and games AND 2 bikes!!!!
(pictures and video to follow on a different post about that)
Aunt Karleen sent a bag full of eggs for us to have our own egg hunt in the backyard. There were over 60 eggs total that we hid. (sorry, no pictures for this. They are on Chris' phone.)
We ended Easter weekend going to church to celebrate and had a great Easter brunch.
Our new traditions:
1. attending the Easter egg hunt at the church listening to the Easter story
2. getting the Easter gifts on Saturday (focusing on "He is Risen" on Easter day). That is all the gift we need on Easter Sunday.
