We had a nice quiet Easter Sunday. After the children woke up we headed to the living room for their surprise. Jon and I pulled the super lame-o parent card this Easter. I could only find the grass and not their baskets or eggs. I thought I was on top of it this year. I even had the candy ready to put into their eggs. But without the eggs or baskets we couldn’t do much. So since I didn’t realize until the night before when Jon asked me about it that I did not in fact know WHERE the baskets and eggs were, we had to make a late night run to the store. It was SLIM pickings. They had NO empty plastic eggs, OR empty baskets left. Pickings got even slimmer when we started reading all the labels for what was left. Darn food allergies. We ended up forking over more money for huge pre-done baskets.

Normally they get an empty basket lined with fake grass. They fill their baskets with plastic eggs filled with approved/safe sweets during the egg hunt.

Not too surprising the children were fine with what they saw in the morning.

The baskets did have fun things in them though….

The only thing I liked about this years eggs was our personal discovery of the confetti eggs. SO SO SO fun! I will be buying those every year that I remember.

The children were not sure what just happened. I had dumped the first egg on Regan to show them how it worked.

They caught on fast and had a blast with the confetti eggs. There other eggs were filled with stickers. Those were fun too.

After cleaning up all the confetti. We turned on some music and had a dance party.

Regan really likes Kaylee’s little guitar. And he was really getting into head banging while playing it.

Before going to church we watched the He is Risen video with the children to help explain the real purpose of Easter. Kaylee was fascinated. She has requested watching , “The Jesus movie.” several times since.

After church we headed over the the Day’s house. Shannon made an AMAZING Easter dinner. And the cousins taught the children the joys of egg wars. Kaylee was a bit worried about the eggs. She told me a few times, “But Mom, I allergic to eggs.” It took a bit to convince her that she would be fine as long as she didn’t eat them.

Becca won. She’s said this was normal. She wins every year. She’s too cute!

Regan didn’t wait for a battle. He just cracked his egg open on his own.
