The nice thing about 1:00 pm church on Easter morning is there is plenty of time for the kids to get their Easter baskets before we have to worry about getting ready for church. Especially when Mom is big and pregnant. :) I was really happy with the outfits I was able to find, and I avoided the argument Danny and I usually have about the contents of their baskets and I just let him do it this year. :) It was awesome! The kids were very happy, and that made us very happy.
Danny didn't have an any appointments in the afternoon, so he handled dinner for me. I love that man! He knew just what to make for this pregnant Mama...steak! It was delicious. And the kids and I decided to try Orange Dessert...instead of Lime Dessert. Not only did it turn out a beautiful, Eastery pastel color...it was super yummy. Success!
The next day was the beginning of Spring Break, so since it wasn't a school night we had a special Family Home Evening at Grandma Candy's. I was feeling like trying something new, so we tired decorating eggs with food coloring and shaving cream. It was definitely a new experience! And is smelled SO much better than the vinegar-based egg dyes. :) The kids had a blast, while the adults mostly tried to contain the mess. So, egg dying at it's best!
Once the eggs were sufficiently covered in colored shaving cream, they had to sit for at least 30 minutes. That gave the kids just enough time for an egg hunt in the basement! The weather just wasn't cooperating for an outdoor hunt. It was pretty easy-pickins, but the kids had a blast. And they ended up with a TON of eggs!
It was finally time to wipe off our eggs and see if our Pinterest find was a success or a failure. I think we nailed it!
It was wonderful Easter holiday. We are always very mindful of Luke and Rachel, and are so grateful that because of the gift of the resurrection they will be joined again with their bodies...as we all will. How grateful we are for the atoning sacrifice of our Savior, Jesus Christ. For His breaking the bands of death and His triumph over the grave.
Happy Easter!
