Logan was not limited to one egg hunt this year, but three (or four if you count the two we had in our yards…more on that later).

Our church holds a community egg hunt each year, but one that teaches the resurrection story. Logan was pretty cranky and uncooperative during most of it. Again eggs were thrown and tantrums were had. For his sake, he was very ready for a nap and was entering meltdown stage. Pretty sure he didn’t absorb much of the lesson this year, but thank goodness the volunteers had LOTS of patience!

Also, do to the various stages of 2-year old shenanigans, I didn’t get to take any pictures. Oh well.

On Easter, we had hosted our potluck dinner/egg hunt. When we started this tradition there were only a couple of children. This year we had seven!

Because of that we held two egg hunts, a small one in the front yard just for the children with age-appropriate prizes in the eggs, and then one in the backyard for the adults. We also try to do something different with the adult hunt each year. We’ve done a treasure hunt into the open space (on a very wet and rainy Easter), special golden eggs, camouflage eggs and this year we did a giant egg

The weather was great this year, too – near 70! No chance of tracks in snow leading up to the hidden eggs!

Before all of our friends came over, Logan opened his Easter basket. Crackers, a new Veggie Tales DVD, a stuffed lamb from Gramma, and his favorite item – blueberries!

 

 Wishing you a happy Easter from our family to yours. A day to remember the Ultimate Sacrifice made for us by our Lord and Savior!
