Happy Easter!

A week later, not to bad.  We had a wonderful Easter.  Hannah and Eli are really starting to understand the true meaning of Easter.  We did many more things this year that were all age appropriate to help them with understanding what Jesus did for us and how unbelievably wonderful he is.  I think walking into church on Good Friday was a huge eye opener for them.  Our church treats it like a funeral, people were dressed in black, no lights on, and very quiet. They asked many questions after leaving.
Coloring eggs was on the agenda for Saturday.  Bonus, it was nice enough to do it outside, better lightening and easier clean up.  I wanted to do something different this year.  They are too old to just dip them in color, but still young enough to make it fun for them.  I found something on Pinterest using a baking soda and water "paint."

They would paint on the egg the color they wanted to use.  Then they would drop a few drops of whatever food coloring color they wanted to use.  Finally, they would take a syringe full of vinegar and put it on their egg.  Voila!  You have a bubbling egg!  They really enjoyed this.  Will have to make more than 12 eggs next year!

The Easter Bunny hid baskets and they were blurs of madness trying to find theirs.  Daddy helped Reece find his.  Big boy cups and spoons!

After baskets were found an promptly dumped, the mad dash to find the most eggs hidden around the house began!

He just liked eating the empty egg :)

And then super cute pictures of everyone all dressed up ready for church.  What a wonderful day, message at church, and reason to celebrate!
