We were very fortunate to have lovely weather for our Easter Weekend. I think it's the first Easter in recent years where we could actually be outside in short sleeves! Somehow the gorgeous weather just makes it that much easier to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior.
Saturday we took part in the community Easter Egg Hunt at the park. These things really aren't so much a "hunt" as they are a scramble. Despite organizer's efforts to have some semblance of order by dividing kids into age groups and such, it really is just pure chaos. Both Evelyn and Isaiah seemed to enjoy themselves despite only being able to grab 6 and 2 eggs respectively. Evelyn was certainly more aware of the discrepancy between the amount of eggs she ended up with compared to some of the other kids. Fortunately she got over it once she opened her eggs and saw that there was actually some cool stuff inside.
Sunday was church and another egg hunt. This time the kids were prepared for the competition - and parents were more involved in enforcing the rules so that kids weren't hoarding all the eggs.
The best part though was spending the afternoon with many of our good friends at the Need house. This has become an annual tradition for us and Denise and her mom put on a fabulous egg hunt for the kids as well as the adults.

Easter 2009
We celebrated Easter this year by decorating Easter Eggs, participating in an Easter Egg Hunt and enjoying a wonderful dinner with friends on Easter Sunday.
I had picked up some egg decorating kits at a yard sale and thought maybe Evelyn would enjoy helping decorate the eggs. I chose a kit that involved adding the dye to a cup and shaking the egg in it to coat it, then adding glitter. I figured Evelyn would really get into shaking the egg around allowing her to do most of the decorating herself. As is often the case with toddlers, she quickly lost interest, so I ended up decorating most of the 6 eggs myself while she watched.
We did an Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday with our PEPS group. All the kids seemed to really get into finding the eggs. Then they would trade eggs by putting them in each others baskets, or "hide" them by taking them again by taking them out of the basket and putting them back.
On Sunday we enjoyed a wonderful dinner with our good friends Denise and Dwayne along with their family and other good friends. There were lots of kids to play with and hunt for Easter Eggs - these ones had prizes! There was even an egg hunt for the adults.
