Easter came upon us WAY too fast this year. We always celebrate the holiday on Saturday instead of Sunday so that we can focus more on the true meaning of Easter on the sabbath. It seems like the religious holidays today are more about the commercial aspect than about Christ. We want Emma to have fun celebrating both the "fun" part and the "church" part as she calls it.
On Friday night we dyed Easter eggs which is always Emma's favorite part. We did 24 eggs this year, but could have done twice that many. We love decorating them, but eating them later isn't always as fun. I need to find a good recipe to use up all the eggs. I don't mind a boiled egg now and then, but I don't want to eat 24 of them!
CHEESE!! GEEZ!!
The Easter Bunny visited our house on Saturday morning to hide the eggs and fill Emma's basket. He brought her a new Easter dress, a barbie coloring book with a magic marker that reveals hidden pictures, some new sidewalk chalk and of course some candy.
Tracing Daddy with her new chalks.
After she looked over her loot we went to a neighborhood park for the annual Easter Egg Hunt and ta visit with the "real" Easter Bunny. We got there early and had to kill about 25 minutes before the egg hunt started. When the whistle finally blew to signal the start, Emma was off and running. There were tons of children there, but she managed to collect her limit of 10 eggs in only 10 minutes. She ended up with 3 smarties, 4 tootsie rolls, 2 sweet tarts and 1 gummy bunny, well worth the wait. Sorry I don't have any photos of her basket at home or at the park....better luck with that next year!
Crafts.....YAY!!! Her FAVORITE thing in the whole world!
