1, 2, 3 Easter Egg Hunts

This year was filled with lots of different Easter activities.  Last year for Easter we went to Ohio and spend the holiday with Tyler's sister.   So, this was our first Easter at home with our friends and Church family.

We had a fun neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt the weekend before Easter.  It was little chilly outside but at least the rain stayed away and made for a fun afternoon with all our neighbors.  Neal wasn't so sure that he wanted to hunt for eggs but once the hunt started and he realized that there was candy in all the eggs he was running around with everyone else.   They had a popcorn machine there and Neal was amazed at the amount of popcorn that was inside.  He said, "that is hug popcorn.  More popcorn then at my house mommy."


Then on saturday our neighbor invited us to join them at an Easter Egg hunt in our community.  This was by far the best egg hunt.  They had lots of games, a huge bouncy house and hotdog lunch.  Neal had so much fun.  Not only did he get a ton of easter eggs on the egg hunt but him and his friends had the time of their lives in the bouncy house.





Finally, we had an easter morning hunt here at our house.  Tyler hid the eggs that Neal decorated and Neal had so much fun looking for his colored eggs.  The prize for finding all the eggs was a fun Easter basket filled with lots of treats and fun things from Grandma.


The last egg Tyler hid way up high in the lights and Neal thought it was so funny that the egg was "on the ceiling."


Our Easter Sunday at church was a little different then normal, Tyler wasn't feeling great (sinus infection) and I had to work in the nursery, but it was still a wonderful morning fellowshipping with our church family and praising the Lord for his gift of salvation and work on the cross.  We ended our Easter with an all church picnic, filled with food, friends, games and a skit about the Easter Story.


Not only did we have a wonderful Easter Sunday but a fun filled week.  We hope you all had a wonderful Easter celebrating the resurrection of Christ with family, friends and lots of candy.
