Growing up we ALWAYS colored real eggs, twelve each. Then after finding them we would sit outside and have a breakfast picnic of hard boiled eggs and the wee bit of candy that our Easter Bunny brought to a health conscious house.
We have carried this tradition on in our growing family. This year we scaled back to 6 eggs each and added a few plastic eggs to the hunt.
On Saturday we attended an Easter egg hunt at Brinley's gymnastics's facility. Avery's wishes so badly that she could be in gymnastics's like her big sister, so this was a good chance for her to play around on some of the equipment.
We have enjoyed a few Christ centered activities and stories in an effort to teach our children about the real reason we celebrate Easter.
When asked at the dinner table (after much talk of Christ's Resurrection) "Why do we celebrate Easter?" Avery shouted out "Because we celebrate the Easter Bunny!"
So I guess we still have a ways to go.
For dinner we enjoyed a delicious ham, funeral potatoes and asparagus.
Aspen enjoyed Daddy's hairy arm.
The end.
