Egged Out

Never ever have my children celebrated Easter as much as they did this year.

(And I've got the candy drawer to prove it!)

They even attended a Seder Dinner (Passover like Jesus would have had).

And Easter morning sunrise service (which is actually my favorite kind).  

It's also the reason we have no cute Easter morning dress-up photos...
 Cause there are no Easter bonnets first thing in the morning at sunrise service!

The kids started the Easter festivities with filling eggs at Maw-Maw's.

They were very serious about their egg filling job, but not so interested in Maw-Maw's practice egg hunts.
(Maw-Maw thinks egg hunting is a skill that needs to be practiced in the weeks leading up to the main event.)

 Check out Kyle's sunglasses on top of his hat.

(I do that all the time.)

The week before Easter, the Weldon Store (the one business within 5 miles of my parents' house) had an egg hunt.

1500 eggs for about 30 kids.

They finally just got tired of picking up eggs.

We spent Good Friday at Grandpa Gary and Granny Buffie's house.

Granny Buffie made (yes, made) cascarones with the kids.

They didn't even know dying eggs was "a thing".

Cascarones: eggs, dye, confetti, glue, tissue paper...
about 5 too many supplies and steps than I'm comfortable with!

And did I mention they whipped up a homemade bunny cake too?

Yeah, they did.

And if that wasn't enough, they spent Saturday with their cousins at the 24th annual family Easter party.

Complete with bouncy castle, egg hunting, and a pinata!

Whew!
