Easter 2010
Easter 2010 was similar to the past few years. The weekend before Easter we went to Lippold Park in CL for their egg hunt. It was SO crowded! Joe went to find a parking spot while I was to take the girls in for the egg hunt, but when Loren didn't listen to me and refused to put on her coat, she didn't get to come out with me, therefore causing her to miss the hunt. Maybe she'll learn to listen to me next time!
Good Friday we went to Bethany for their Stations of the Cross for families. The kids really listened and learned that Easter is about more than just the "bunny"! The stations were an hour, and the kids really listened!
Then that evening we colored our eggs. This year, per Loren's request, we got glitter egg dye. They turned out fairly well, but were kind of a pain to do! I would do them again, but would use a different plastic bag for each egg for the glitter. Lesson learned!
Easter Sunday, Loren woke up and came out right at 7 (the earliest time she's allowed to come out), but Kaylynn slept in a bit, so Loren hung out in my room for a while. When Kaylynn finally woke up, they really enjoyed looking for the eggs! They found Eryn's basket rather quickly (which was hidden behind the curtains in the family room), then Loren's (which was under the girls' picnic table in the living room) and finally Kaylynn's (which was in the bathroom)! Loren and Kaylynn each got movies, pajamas, sun glasses, bubbles, hair clips, and a piece of candy. Loren also got the game "bop-it" and Kaylynn got a new bike! Eryn got a new blanket, a bee toys for her stroller, a bib, some rice cereal, and a new spoon!
After playing outside for a while, we all got ready and went to Booma and Boompa's house for Easter with the "Harmon's". After eating waaaay too much food, we went over to Grandma and Grandpa's house for Easter with Joe's family. It was a very busy day, but the girls enjoyed it and had fun!
