We began our Easter Holiday by watching Amber participate in a Fashion Show at Belk Department Store. She was so psyched about it. When it came to "show time" she was a bit shy, but did everything she was supposed to. As well, her friend from daycare was in the show with her so that made it extra fun.
That night we pulled out the card table and all of the egg decorating supplies. I have to admit, I have just as much fun as the kids do.
After the egg coloring was done, Amber announced that she was going to cook a snack in her Easy Bake oven for the Easter Bunny. She decorated the snack with LOTS of sprinkles and sat it out on the table and off to bed. After she fell asleep, Austin completed his job; he ate the Easter Bunny's snack. I think he enjoys that this is his tradition.
The kids woke up and ran to their baskets. They were filled with lots of candy, books, Silly String and a Water Balloon kit. They searched for the eggs the Easter Bunny had hid and then it was time for a Silly String and Water Balloon fight. It was an absolute blast!
The best part of Easter was talking to the kids about the true meaning of Easter. It filled my heart with joy to explain to the kids that the Lord loves them always.
