Friday, we had our little playgroup Easter egg hunt. Our ward combined with two other wards and there was a great turn out. Iva and Charlie had a blast chasing eggs, playing in rocks, and eating candy.
Saturday, MWU had their Easter Extravanganza. Shawn was able to take a study break and come with us. (Iva was so excited for "one more egg run" and "dada come" since he didn't come to the the Friday hunt.)
They had a bounce house set up. Iva and Charlie both bounced, bounced, and bounced some more.
After bouncing, it was time for the egg hunt. They had a field set up for the 0-3 year olds. Iva and Charlie did their best (and handled getting trampled surprisingly well) and both ended up with three eggs each. The field was completely cleared out in maybe 30 seconds. It was pretty amazing.
After the egg hunt and opening each egg and inspecting the goods, we went to meet the Easter bunny. Iva was so excited to see the bunny and was pretty disappointed when she realized it wasn't a real bunny. Charlie had no clue what to think of the bunny and didn't want to take his eye off him.
Saturday and Sunday, we watched General conference and had a quiet Easter as our little family. The Easter bunny has been sick and decided to keep it very simple this year and skip our house. Guess what? No one even noticed. Iva and Charlie were just happy to have dada home. We did dye eggs and that was a big hit with Iva- she has her colors down and was pretty happy to show that skill off.
Our Easter ended up being perfect. It was spent with our little family listening to the words of the prophet and apostles. We are so blessed and have really been able to stop and recognize those blessings lately. I know that all of our blessings are Because of Him. I know Jesus Christ lives and is our Savior and Redeemer. I am grateful for that knowledge and pray I pass that knowledge on to Iva and Charlie. And am thankful we were able to slow down and remember that this Easter Sunday.
