We had a lovely and fun Easter season this year, filled with lots of activities and time with friends. On Good Friday, the wonderful moms in our ward put together an Easter egg hunt in one of our neighborhood parks. Look at this turnout!
And here are all the kiddos running to find eggs:
For those that remember last year, Cal was still pretty concerned about what was (or wasn't) inside each egg he found -- our little sugarholic. We adults had instituted a one-candy-per-egg rule, however, so he was slightly foiled in his attempt to gorge himself on peeps and Cadbury eggs. It was a fun day filled with sunshine and friends. It's really starting to feel like Spring!
Our Easter week had begun with me deciding I wanted a yellow tablecloth to brighten up our black table, and I got it in my head that I could make my own. Cal and I went to the fabric store and purchased a few yards of fabric, and then all that was left was ironing, pinning and hemming.
See, Mom? All those sewing lessons weren't a complete waste of money! :)
Heather came to dye eggs with us, which made for a very fun afternoon. Look who is raring to go!
I didn't think I needed to use a spoon or wire, and this is how my hands turned out. Kind of festive, right?
And here is Reed's "Arrested Development"-themed egg:
On Easter morning, here was the spread waiting for Cal:
I felt a little sacrilegious as I set up all the dinosaurs around Christ, but Cal loved it all! We read the Easter story to him that night. I wonder how much he understands. I hope I am properly teaching him that these things mean so much to me.
