We did have a really nice Easter Holiday minus a few colds. The kids had a lot of fun and really made out with new toys and candy. On Saturday we went to the egg hunt. The kids had a great time and got some candy and lots of other toys. Leah's preschool which is in a church had a great egg hunt for the kids and the kids got to pick out prizes in the end, like sidewalk chalk, sand toys, balls, and stuff animals. That's the first egg hunt that I'd been too that wasn't all about candy, but the kids loved it and had fun picking out the prizes. Alissa was able to pick up the eggs and place them in the basket and everyone watching were saying how cute that she was.
We also colored eggs on Saturday evening. The kids were very excited about it. Once Rod got out his old under shirts to put on so that they wouldn't ruin their clothes, they were even more excited. Leah and Caleb were really into coloring the eggs. This was Alissa's first time and she was really confused by the whole process. She thought that we were crazy. Rod tried to get her to put the egg in and she wouldn't do it. Once it was in, he tried to put her hand in to get it out and she started to scream and cry. Maybe next year she'll think it's more fun.
On Easter Sunday, the kids looked really cute in their Easter outfits.
On Sunday after church the kids got their Easter baskets although they had already seen them. I had them hidden in our bedroom and they walked in and saw them. Luckily, I caught them and they didn't get to explore too long so there was still a little bit of surprise left.
