Easter Festivities

long post ahead!!





Easter lasted over a week for us. It began with an Easter egg hunt at our church a week before Easter Sunday. Reagan was definitely into it and surprisingly, Abbi got the hang of it as well. It was cute to watch her drop her eggs in her bucket. It was COLD out! I thought the hunt would be inside since they were calling for rain, so the kids weren't dressed appropriately. Oops!!




Abbi was so mad that Reagan was eating candy and she wasn't, so we gave her a candy necklace to gnaw on....it kept her happy for an hour!!!






My grandparents came to visit Easter weekend. They stayed at our house the first night, then with my mom the rest of the weekend. We spent a lot of time at my parent's house that weekend. It was fun since we don't get over there that much. We colored eggs, Abbi ate them instead.










Easter Day!!!





Sunday after church Nathan hid eggs for Reagan in my mom's yard, Abbi was sleeping so she missed out. =( Reagan had a lot of fun. Nate made the mistake of telling her that only the big eggs had candy in them, therefore Reagan flew past the smaller ones and didn't even bother to pick them up! We finally convinced her it was still fun to pick up the small ones too.



I love this picture of Abbi: what a face!



We taught Reagan that Easter means "Jesus is alive!" so she would know it wasn't about eggs and bunnies. She still tells us, "Jesus is alive!"
