Milestone Catch-Up: Easter Fun

Despite a freezing cold Easter season, we had several fun Easter-related outing this year. Here are some of the highlights:

 

 

Church Easter Egg Hunt

Our church hosted a community Easter Egg Hunt event this year for the first time. The kids had a fantastic time with all the various activities, despite the need for winter gear.

 

The kids all bundled up and ready for the party

The bubble station was a huge hit! (I can't believe I don't have a picture of Benj here. He seriously would have spent the whole day at the bubble station. Finally I asked the adult at the station pointedly, "Isn't there a time limit?" ;) )

 

The face painting station required some coersion, but the kids finally consented. 

 

 

 

 

We finally got to the egg hunt. They hunted for eggs labeled with letters that spelled out "Happy Easter." 

 

 

 

 

 

The good ol' egg on a spoon race. We told Leila she couldn't hold the egg ... so she just cupped the spoon with one hand and held it against her body. Creative! :)

 

 

One sack racer needed a little help from Mima.

 

 

Ressurrection Eggs

One of the highlights of our Easter season is always talking about the Easter story using symbols of the Passion week.
