Easter Sunday

Sunday morning we got up early and got ready for church. The girls and I got new Easter dresses for the first time in a long time. 

We went to our church for a very nice Easter service. 

After church we colored Easter eggs and relaxed. We watched some Easter shows. It was a very nice Sunday. 

I made a nice dinner for Easter, and we did Resurrection Eggs with a Bible story. It was a wonderful Easter, and we are so grateful for the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

 

Easter weekend: Saturday

The girls asked for the Easter Bunny to visit on Saturday instead of Sunday so that Sunday could be more Christ-centered. 

They got some pretty full baskets this year. 

Abigail's basket...

Madeline's basket....

My basket...

Doug's basket...

Their stuffed animals were in the hallway near the bottom of the stairs with little trails of jelly beans leading from them to the baskets. 

They were pretty excited when they came down and found them. 

A little while later I had zoom book club, and then we drove south to my parents' house to do an egg hunt and have lunch with them. 

 

Easter

Easter was so much fun! 

The Easter Bunny left our baskets out all ready for us....

Abi's and Maddy's...

 

Mine and Doug's...

They were very happy with what they got in their baskets. 

I tried to make a bunny for breakfast with bacon, eggs, and pancakes... but really they were just scary blobs. 

The kids cracked me up when they did this. 

Getting ready for Easter

Some of the things we did in the few days leading up to Easter... 

Painted eggs!

 

We went to my parents house to do a little Easter Egg hunt. 

It was a lot of fun!

Easter

We always look forward to Easter. It is such a great day. 

We don't have church until afternoon so we did our baskets first thing. 

Maddy got a Shopkins Shoppie, a Peep stuffed animal, a drawing book and pad, and some candy.

 

Abi got two bunny stuffed animals, a small Lego set, a Pokemon Origami book, and candy.

I got the movie Brooklyn and some candy.

And Doug got some candy. 

This is when they were trying to wake up Doug. 

Maddy gets so excited that she is always blurry!

We finished the day with some great family reading and church. 

I made them each some new church bags with an Easter theme and they loved them and plan on using them even when it's not Easter. (I'll have to take a picture later)

It was a great Easter.
