Saturday afternoon when the kids got up from their naps, we had our family Easter egg hunt and Easter basket time. Since Erik is at church all morning Sunday, we don't really get a chance to do it on Sunday, so Saturday works for us! :) The kids enjoyed checking out their baskets and then going on an egg hunt around the house. Kyler was really into it this year, running all over collecting as many eggs as fast as he could. Norah was into it, but she was just a bit slower moving and we had to remind her to keep going and looking around the house. :)

After our egg hunt, we had dinner and then headed over to Ashley's parent's house to do Easter baskets and an egg hunt over there. The kids had a few more surprises in their baskets, and then did an egg hunt inside the house for candy eggs and then headed outside. Outside, there were 12 plastic eggs for each kid hidden around the house, so they enjoyed looking for those for a while. :) I don't have any pictures right now from this egg hunt. :)
Sunday morning the kids got up and everyone got ready to head to church at 10:45. I managed to get everyone there by myself early! :) My parents and brother joined us for church. After church the two big kids went with my parents to their house, and then we would meet up with them later. I took Grace home to feed her, and then as soon as Erik got home from church we headed up to my Aunt's house for Easter lunch. We enjoyed a yummy lunch of ham, potatoes, fruit salad, relishes, bread, and corn with my parents, aunt and uncle, cousin and her family. After lunch the kids were ready to check out their baskets and hunt for the 100-some plastic eggs my aunt had hidden around her yard. When the kids were done hunting for eggs outside, they came in and went on a "candy" egg hunt inside around the house. :) After the egg hunts were over, the kids laid down to take a nap. When everyone woke up, we had a bit more to eat and then headed home. It was a fun day of family, egg hunts, and celebrating the most important thing of all, that Jesus is alive! Here are some pictures form Easter Day!
Ready to go!

The Tuesday after Easter we headed over to Erik's parent's house for one final egg hunt. The kids enjoyed looking for eggs one more time around their house. They also enjoyed a surprise there too. It is fun to see the traditions that come with each different season and time of the year. Both kids were really into egg hunting this year and had a great time doing it, I'm sure Miss Grace will be right in the mix next year too! Happy Easter! He Is Risen!!!
