Our Easter was filled with friends, eggs, candy, family and worship. The best kind of Easter!
The morning of Good Friday we participated in an Easter Egg hunt with our co-op. It was such a fun morning with sweet fellowship and beautiful weather.
This group of kiddos (and their moms) have become such a dear blessing to our family this year.
That evening we attended our church's Good Friday service. The auditorium was packed full of people, and it was a great service. Afterward, the kids were ready for the helicopter egg hunt.
Katherine's looking for it!
Nathan ditched us this year and spent the night with Papa. He's growing up!
We spent some time on Saturday stuffing eggs. The girls also had their first soccer games of the season.
Sunday morning the kids woke up to their Easter baskets filled with some treats.
I always say Easter is my favorite Sunday of the year. We all enjoyed worshipping our Risen Savior together. It was more poignant this year after experiencing the sting of death in our family this year.
After church we captured a few pictures of the kids in their Easter best.
Then we got to work preparing Easter lunch. Each of the kids worked on part of the meal. Nathan always looks forward to the strawberry fluff salad.
Elisabeth decorated this nest cake all by herself. She did a great job!
And Samuel made deviled eggs for us.
After lunch, Matt hid eggs in the backyard, and the kids got to hunting.
I had a few books/art supplies/sciency school things that I had accumulated for the kids and decided to hide some clues in their eggs for them to find them. Usually they get a few gift type things in their individual Easter baskets, but these were more family gifts, so this was a fun way to have them work together. We may have to make it a tradition.
We ended Easter afternoon with naps and rest time. It was such a great weekend with my favorite people.
