Recap on Easter

I was so thankful I was able to celebrate Resurrection Sunday with all 3 of my beautiful children!  I was a little concerned that we would be in the hospital and the girls would have to be without their own traditions of coloring eggs and reading of the TRUE Easter story with their Mom.  God kept Xavier healthy enough so he too could spend his first Easter at home where he should be! 

We had a busy yet wonderful Easter together!  Sunday morning we went to our Easter Breakfast at our church where of course Savannah ate like a grown man.  Every time I turned around she was eating another blueberry muffin or a cinnamon roll!  Sydney had such a servants heart that weekend wanting to help cook the breakfast as well as setting up.    She was a great help and I am so pleased that she enjoys serving others! We then went to worship our risen Savior at Easter service and have more wonderful fellowship.  After church the kids and I went over my sister-in-laws house where we enjoyed a delicious meal, had an egg hunt, and just enjoyed spending time together with several other family members. 

We got home so late that the girls didn't get a chance to do their egg hunt at the house, so we prolonged it until the next morning where they also got their Easter Baskets.  A thoughtful friend had graciously given a gift card to Daffin's Candy Store so that the kids would be able to have nice Easter baskets this year~Thanks so much!!!  Savannah was getting the hang of the egg hunt by the time we had it at our house, seeing as now this one at home was her third one in 2 days!  Sydney of course is an old pro at that, and Xavier just watched and took notes on what to do for next year. :)



We tried the "no mess" way of coloring our Easter eggs this year~Mom liked this way :)



Sydney dying some of her Easter eggs~they were able to pick which colors, pour the dye inside, add an egg and spin it around until it was covered.

Savannah giving it a whirl.

I also got them the q-tips with coloring in them as well so they could write on their eggs~not something I recommend, the dye just poured out from the tips as soon as you opened it up.

Savannah did a little drawing too, as well as trying to eat the q-tip :)

The day before Easter I read the girls the true Easter story, which then lead to reading time~Sydney with her Bible and Savannah with the Easter story book.

Which ever way Sydney laid, Savannah had to lay as well to read.

Not sure if they were truly reading or just rolling around the floor with their books :)

That Saturday Sydney's school had an Easter egg hunt for all to attend.  The girls hit the jackpot~and now we have plenty of candy until Halloween!

Thrilled at their loot! :)

Loving her Easter breakfast!

YUMMY!

They finished their egg hunt, now they patiently awaited their Easter baskets!
