Each holiday is getting more and more exciting for our little family. The boys are getting old enough to anticipate things and actually react to special occasions. Austin and I also did something new and fun this year for Easter. While the kids were napping, we made a trail of jelly beans from the boys room to their Easter baskets. We woke them up and told them the Easter bunny had visited and left a trail for them to follow. It was awesome! They loved it.
The first thing Isaac grabbed from his basket was this chocolate egg. After he unwrapped it he put the entire thing in his mouth, and yes, after that he complained of a stomach ache.
The duded with their prizes! It is a tradition in Austin's family to give the boys squirt guns every Easter. So far we have kept that up. Austin is excited to get the boy better ones in the future but these ones work for now.
Painting Easter Eggs- The one thing Austin and I learned from painting eggs is that for next year, we will need twice as many. The kids blew through the eggs so fast. They kept asking for more but because we didn't have more we just let them paint their already painted eggs over and over again. It worked this year but probably won't next year.
For Emeri, I had the sneaky idea of just putting water in a cup and letting her "paint" an egg that way. It worked this year but it sure won't next year.
Easter egg hunt at Grandma Heath house! Tammy had also give the children each their own bubble wand.
Let the race begin. We let the younger children go first because they were a bit slower. We also had two stairwell accidents during the hunt. The kids were just too excited.
